Summary
The documentation demonstrates some Windows bias, especially in the prerequisites section, where Bash on Windows 10 (via WSL) is mentioned before native Linux/Unix shells, and Windows PowerShell's Invoke-RestMethod is highlighted as an alternative for curl commands. There is a tendency to address Windows users first or provide Windows-specific guidance before Linux equivalents, despite the tutorial being focused on Linux-based HDInsight clusters. No explicit Linux examples are missing, but Windows tooling and patterns are referenced more prominently than strictly necessary.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux/Unix shell usage first in prerequisites and examples, as HDInsight clusters are Linux-based.
  • Mention Windows alternatives (WSL, PowerShell) after describing native Linux/Unix approaches, not before.
  • Provide explicit Linux command-line examples wherever possible, and only add Windows-specific notes as secondary guidance.
  • Avoid suggesting Windows PowerShell cmdlets unless there is a clear use case that cannot be accomplished with standard Linux tools.
  • Clarify that all examples are directly applicable to Linux/macOS environments, and provide separate, clearly marked sections for Windows-specific instructions if needed.
