Summary
The documentation page provides detailed instructions for rebooting HDInsight cluster VMs using PowerShell, which is a Windows-centric tool, and lists this method before the REST API approach. There are no examples or guidance for Linux/macOS users, such as using Azure CLI, Bash, or other cross-platform tools. The REST API section is more neutral, but the absence of Linux-specific instructions or parity for command-line usage creates friction for non-Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Add Azure CLI examples for listing and restarting HDInsight cluster nodes, as Azure CLI is cross-platform and widely used on Linux/macOS.
  • Include Bash or shell script examples for interacting with the REST API, demonstrating how Linux/macOS users can perform the same operations.
  • Explicitly mention platform compatibility for each method, and recommend cross-platform tools where possible.
  • Reorder sections so that cross-platform or platform-neutral methods (like REST API or Azure CLI) are presented before Windows-specific tools like PowerShell.
