Summary
The documentation demonstrates a mild Windows bias, primarily through references to Windows-specific tools (Azurite, Storage Emulator) and patterns. While Azure CLI is used for most examples (which is cross-platform), the prerequisites and local development sections mention Windows-centric tools before their Linux/macOS equivalents, and do not clarify Linux/macOS alternatives. There are no explicit PowerShell-only instructions, but PowerShell is mentioned as an alternative to Azure CLI. The Storage Emulator is referenced without noting that it is Windows-only, and Azurite is mentioned but not prioritized or explained for non-Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Clearly state that Azurite is the recommended cross-platform storage emulator and provide installation instructions for Linux/macOS.
  • When mentioning the Storage Emulator, note that it is Windows-only and direct Linux/macOS users to Azurite.
  • Provide explicit Linux/macOS instructions or examples where local development tools differ.
  • List cross-platform tools (Azurite) before Windows-only tools (Storage Emulator) in prerequisites and examples.
  • Ensure all screenshots and portal instructions are not Windows-specific (e.g., avoid showing Windows-only UI elements).
