Summary
The documentation page generally maintains cross-platform parity, especially in its examples, which are based on SSH and Linux commands. However, in the 'Access files from outside cluster' section, the list of Microsoft-provided tools includes Azure PowerShell as a Windows-only option, and AzCopy is noted as available for Windows and Linux but not OS X. No Linux-specific tools (e.g., native hadoop/hdfs CLI, sftp, or third-party Linux utilities) are mentioned, nor are there examples for Linux-specific workflows outside of the cluster context. The ordering of tools does not show explicit Windows-first bias, but the inclusion of Azure PowerShell as a Windows-only tool and lack of Linux alternatives in that row is a mild Windows bias.
Recommendations
- Add examples or mention of Linux-native tools for accessing Azure Storage outside the cluster, such as sftp, curl, or third-party utilities.
- Include notes or links to Linux equivalents for PowerShell workflows, such as using Azure CLI or REST API from bash.
- Clarify that most examples are Linux-based and provide parity by offering any Windows-specific command-line examples (e.g., PowerShell, CMD) where relevant.
- Consider reordering or grouping tools by platform support rather than listing Windows-only tools in the same table as cross-platform tools.
- Explicitly state that the main workflow examples (SSH, hdfs dfs, Hive) are Linux-based, and provide guidance for Windows users if needed.
