Summary
The documentation page exhibits strong Windows bias. AzCopy is described as a Windows-only utility, and all instructions and examples assume a Windows environment (Command Prompt, Windows file paths, installation directory). PowerShell is referenced and shown in screenshots, with no mention of Linux or cross-platform alternatives. There are no Linux shell examples, nor guidance for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Update the documentation to clarify the current cross-platform status of AzCopy (AzCopy v10+ is cross-platform and works on Linux/macOS).
- Provide Linux and macOS installation instructions for AzCopy.
- Include Linux shell (bash) examples for uploading VHD files using AzCopy.
- Replace or supplement Windows Command Prompt instructions with bash/zsh equivalents.
- Add notes or sections for Linux users, including default installation paths and environment setup.
- Avoid referencing PowerShell exclusively; provide Azure CLI or bash alternatives where possible.
