Summary
The documentation for the Azure Storage Emulator is heavily Windows-centric. The emulator itself is Windows-only, and all usage instructions, examples, and tooling references (such as PowerShell, SQL Server Management Studio, and Windows authentication) are specific to Windows. There are no Linux or macOS usage examples, and the only mention of cross-platform development is a brief reference to Azurite, with no further guidance or parity in examples. The command-line instructions, installation paths, and UI references are all Windows-specific.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent examples and instructions for Azurite, which is cross-platform, including installation and usage on Linux and macOS.
- Include Linux/macOS command-line examples for common tasks (e.g., starting the emulator, generating SAS tokens, connecting with SDKs).
- Mention and demonstrate cross-platform tools (such as Azure CLI, Storage Explorer) for authentication and management, not just PowerShell and SSMS.
- Clearly separate Windows-only instructions from cross-platform guidance, and ensure that Linux/macOS developers are given actionable steps.
- Add a comparison table or section highlighting feature parity and migration steps between Storage Emulator (Windows) and Azurite (cross-platform).
