Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. While most command-line examples use Azure CLI (which is cross-platform), the prerequisites and local development instructions reference the Azurite storage emulator and the legacy Storage Emulator, both of which are historically Windows-centric tools. The Storage Emulator is Windows-only, and the documentation does not clarify Linux alternatives or provide explicit Linux setup instructions. Additionally, PowerShell is mentioned as an alternative for resource creation before the Azure portal, which may reinforce a Windows-first mindset. There are no explicit Linux shell examples or guidance for Linux users on storage emulation or local testing.
Recommendations
  • Clearly distinguish between Azurite (cross-platform) and the legacy Storage Emulator (Windows-only), and recommend Azurite for Linux/macOS users.
  • Provide explicit Linux/macOS setup instructions for local development, including installation and usage of Azurite.
  • When mentioning PowerShell, also mention Bash or other Linux-native tools as alternatives, and provide example commands where relevant.
  • Add notes or callouts for Linux/macOS users wherever a tool or pattern is Windows-specific.
  • Ensure all screenshots and portal instructions are platform-neutral, or provide Linux/macOS equivalents if there are differences.
