Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows and PowerShell. All command-line examples use Azure PowerShell cmdlets, with no mention or examples of equivalent Bash, Azure CLI, or curl commands that would be more natural for Linux/macOS users. The only tool recommended for interacting with Azure Blob Storage is Azure Storage Explorer, which is a GUI tool but is most commonly used on Windows. There is no guidance for Linux/macOS users on how to perform the same REST API operations, authenticate, or manage resources using cross-platform tools.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent examples using Azure CLI, curl, or Bash scripts for all REST API operations, alongside PowerShell.
  • Explicitly mention that Azure CLI and REST API calls can be performed on Linux/macOS, and provide setup instructions.
  • Offer authentication instructions using Azure CLI (az login, az account set, etc.) and how to obtain access tokens with CLI or curl.
  • Recommend cross-platform tools for interacting with Azure Blob Storage, such as azcopy or CLI commands, not just Azure Storage Explorer.
  • Reorder examples so that cross-platform (CLI/curl) options are shown first or side-by-side with PowerShell.
  • Add notes or sections for Linux/macOS users, highlighting any differences or requirements.
