Summary
The documentation page exhibits mild Windows bias. It references Windows-specific tools (such as the legacy Azure Storage Emulator), provides instructions and notes for Windows users before Linux, and omits explicit Linux command-line examples or Linux-specific instructions. The use of Azure Storage Explorer (a cross-platform tool, but often associated with Windows) is highlighted, and there is a lack of parity in showing Linux alternatives or clarifying cross-platform steps. The section on ensuring 64-bit architecture is labeled 'Windows only', but does not provide equivalent Linux validation steps.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Linux command-line examples where applicable, such as using Bash or Linux-native tools for configuration and deployment.
  • Clarify that Azurite is cross-platform and provide installation instructions for Linux and macOS, not just Windows.
  • When mentioning Azure Storage Explorer, note its availability on Linux and macOS, and provide download links for all platforms.
  • In sections labeled 'Windows only', provide guidance for Linux users on how to validate architecture or clarify that no action is needed.
  • Avoid referencing legacy Windows-only tools (like Azure Storage Emulator) without also mentioning their cross-platform replacements.
  • Ensure that all steps and screenshots are representative of both Windows and Linux environments, or provide alternatives where UI differs.
