Summary
The documentation mentions Windows-centric tools (Azure PowerShell, .NET SDK) as primary methods for applying script actions, often listing them before Linux-friendly alternatives. While the script development and troubleshooting guidance is strongly Linux-oriented (Bash, Ubuntu, Linux utilities), the orchestration and management examples are biased toward Windows tools, with little mention of Linux-native equivalents (e.g., Azure CLI, Bash scripting for orchestration). This may create friction for Linux/macOS users managing HDInsight clusters.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit examples and instructions for using Azure CLI to apply script actions, including command-line syntax and workflow.
  • List Linux-friendly management tools (Azure CLI, Bash, REST API) before or alongside Windows tools in tables and instructions.
  • Provide parity in orchestration examples, such as Bash scripts or CLI commands for deploying script actions, not just PowerShell or .NET SDK.
  • Clarify that all management operations can be performed from Linux/macOS environments, and link to relevant cross-platform documentation.
  • Where PowerShell is mentioned, include equivalent Azure CLI commands.
