Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias primarily by referencing Azure PowerShell as the main method for setting blob tiers, without providing equivalent Linux/CLI examples. The mention of PowerShell precedes the alternative (Lifecycle Management), and there are no Linux-specific instructions or examples (such as using Azure CLI or REST API). The documentation does not mention or show Linux tools or patterns for interacting with Azure Data Box Gateway, despite the product supporting NFS and SMB protocols, which are widely used on Linux.
Recommendations
- Provide Azure CLI examples for setting blob tiers and managing lifecycle policies, alongside PowerShell instructions.
- Explicitly mention and demonstrate Linux-compatible workflows, such as using Bash scripts, az CLI commands, or REST API calls.
- Add notes or sections on how to use Data Box Gateway from Linux clients, including mounting NFS/SMB shares and performing data transfers.
- Ensure that references to tools and procedures do not default to Windows/PowerShell, but present cross-platform options equally.
- Include screenshots or terminal output from Linux environments where relevant.
