Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented around Visual Studio Code and its Azure extensions, which are available cross-platform but have a strong association with Windows workflows. All examples and instructions use VS Code GUI commands and extensions, with no mention of CLI alternatives (such as Azure CLI, PowerShell Core, Bash, or direct REST API usage) that are common on Linux. There are no explicit Linux-specific instructions or examples, and Windows-centric tools (like VS Code and Azurite extension) are referenced exclusively. The documentation does not provide parity for Linux users who may prefer command-line workflows or non-VS Code environments.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent Azure CLI commands for all resource creation steps (storage account, blob container, function app, event subscription, file upload) alongside VS Code instructions.
  • Include PowerShell Core and Bash script examples for common tasks, ensuring they work on Linux and macOS as well as Windows.
  • Mention and provide instructions for using Azurite as a standalone npm package (not just the VS Code extension), which is the recommended approach on Linux.
  • Clarify that all steps can be performed on Linux and macOS, and explicitly call out any platform-specific limitations.
  • Provide links to official documentation for Azure CLI and REST API alternatives for users who do not use VS Code.
  • Add a section or callout for 'Linux/macOS users' with tips for setting up the environment and running the tutorial outside of VS Code.
