Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing PowerShell instructions and Windows-centric tools (e.g., PowerShell cmdlets, references to Windows client device setup, and azcopy). PowerShell is presented before CLI, and many examples use Windows-specific patterns. There is little to no mention of Linux shell equivalents or native Linux tools, despite HDInsight clusters typically running on Linux. Instructions for enabling features or troubleshooting are often given in PowerShell, with CLI as a secondary option. No Bash or Linux-native scripting examples are provided, and references to Linux environments are minimal.
Recommendations
- Provide Bash shell script examples for all major steps, especially for enabling and configuring Azure Monitor Agent.
- Include instructions using native Linux tools (e.g., curl, wget, jq) instead of or alongside azcopy and PowerShell.
- Explicitly mention Linux environments and clarify which steps are OS-agnostic or require adaptation for Linux.
- Add troubleshooting steps and configuration guidance for Linux-based HDInsight clusters.
- Ensure parity in example order: present Azure CLI and Bash examples before or alongside PowerShell, reflecting the typical HDInsight deployment environment.
- Reference Linux documentation and best practices where relevant, especially for cluster administration and log management.
