Summary
The documentation provides examples for Azure Portal, Azure CLI, and PowerShell, with PowerShell being highlighted as a primary automation method. PowerShell examples include references to Windows file paths (e.g., D:\testFiles\textfile.csv) and local file upload patterns typical for Windows environments. There is no mention of Linux-specific shell commands (e.g., Bash), Linux file paths, or cross-platform scripting alternatives. The PowerShell section suggests running commands locally or in Azure Cloud Shell, but does not offer Bash equivalents or guidance for Linux users. The documentation implicitly assumes familiarity with Windows tools and patterns, and presents PowerShell before any Linux-specific alternatives.
Recommendations
  • Add Bash shell examples alongside PowerShell, especially for resource creation and file uploads.
  • Include Linux file path examples (e.g., /home/user/testFiles/textfile.csv) in upload scenarios.
  • Explicitly mention that Azure CLI commands work on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and provide guidance for Linux users.
  • Provide links to Linux-specific quickstarts or guides for Azure Data Share.
  • Balance the prominence of PowerShell and Bash in tabbed code samples, or offer a 'Linux' tab where appropriate.
  • Avoid using Windows-specific file paths in generic examples, or provide both Windows and Linux variants.
