Summary
The documentation page exhibits a notable Windows bias: all command-line examples use PowerShell cmdlets, and sample outputs are from Windows environments (e.g., PS C:\WINDOWS\system32>). Windows-specific tools and instructions are referenced first or exclusively (e.g., Notepad, editing C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts, Certutil for certificate conversion). There are no CLI/bash examples for Linux/macOS users, nor guidance for using cross-platform alternatives. While Linux VMs are supported and referenced in template parameters, the operational instructions and tooling are Windows-centric.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Bash/Azure CLI examples for all PowerShell cmdlets, especially for resource group, storage account, and VM creation.
- Include instructions for editing the hosts file on Linux/macOS (e.g., /etc/hosts) and suggest appropriate text editors (nano, vim).
- Offer certificate conversion steps using OpenSSL, which is standard on Linux/macOS, instead of only Certutil.
- Clarify how to run AzCopy and Storage Explorer on Linux/macOS, including installation and usage notes.
- Show sample outputs from Linux/macOS terminals where relevant.
- Explicitly state cross-platform requirements and alternatives in prerequisites and tool recommendations.
