Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: it references PowerShell cmdlets and APIs for RBAC assignments without mentioning CLI or Linux-native alternatives, uses Windows-specific terminology (e.g., SMB, 'con' as an invalid directory name), and omits Linux-specific troubleshooting steps or examples. The troubleshooting steps and examples are written in a way that assumes familiarity with Windows environments and tools, with no parity for Linux or cross-platform scenarios.
Recommendations
  • Include Azure CLI and REST API examples for RBAC assignments alongside PowerShell, and clarify which commands work on Linux/macOS.
  • Add troubleshooting steps and examples for Linux environments, such as mounting SMB shares using Linux commands (e.g., mount.cifs), checking permissions with chmod/chown, and verifying network connectivity with Linux tools (e.g., curl, ping, netcat).
  • Explicitly mention Linux-specific error messages and their remediation (e.g., 'permission denied', 'input/output error') and how to resolve them using Linux commands.
  • Provide parity in documentation by listing both Windows and Linux methods for common tasks, such as role assignment, network troubleshooting, and file system operations.
  • Avoid Windows-centric terminology (e.g., referencing 'con' as an invalid directory name) without noting Linux equivalents or differences.
