Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias by providing extensive PowerShell examples and referencing the .NET SDK, both of which are Windows-centric tools. The only programmatic example is in PowerShell, and the appendix contains a full PowerShell script. There are no Linux shell (Bash) or cross-platform CLI examples for customizing HDInsight clusters. The prerequisites and instructions focus on Windows tools, and Linux alternatives are only mentioned in passing or in 'See also' links, not in the main instructional flow.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent examples using Azure CLI and Bash scripts to demonstrate cluster customization on Linux or cross-platform environments.
  • Include prerequisites and installation instructions for Linux tools (e.g., Azure CLI) alongside PowerShell.
  • Reorder sections so that cross-platform or Linux-native methods (such as Azure CLI or ARM templates) are presented before or alongside Windows/PowerShell methods.
  • Provide links to Linux-focused documentation in the main instructional flow, not just in 'See also' sections.
  • Explicitly state which methods are cross-platform and which are Windows-specific, helping users choose the appropriate tooling for their environment.
