Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows and PowerShell usage. All command-line instructions are provided exclusively using Azure PowerShell, with no mention of Azure CLI, Bash, or cross-platform alternatives. The prerequisites and workflow assume the use of PowerShell, which is native to Windows and only recently available on Linux/macOS. There are no Linux-specific instructions, nor any guidance for users on non-Windows platforms. The documentation does not mention or demonstrate how to perform the same steps using Azure CLI, which is more commonly used on Linux/macOS.
Recommendations
  • Provide Azure CLI equivalents for all PowerShell commands, including resource group, data factory, linked service, and pipeline creation and deployment.
  • Include notes or sections for Linux/macOS users, specifying any differences in setup or command usage.
  • Mention that PowerShell Core is available cross-platform, but clarify installation steps for Linux/macOS.
  • Add Bash script examples for file uploads to Azure Blob Storage, using tools like azcopy or Azure CLI.
  • Reorder sections or add side-by-side examples so that both Windows (PowerShell) and Linux/macOS (CLI/Bash) users are equally supported.
  • Explicitly state platform requirements and alternatives in the prerequisites section.
