Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias, especially in the sections on creating SAS tokens and configuring HDInsight clusters. PowerShell is presented as the primary method, and Azure CLI examples use Windows (cmd.exe) variable syntax without providing equivalent bash/Linux syntax. There is no explicit Linux shell example for Azure CLI, and the creation/configuration steps for clusters are only shown in PowerShell, with no Linux-native alternatives. The Python and Ambari sections are cross-platform, but critical provisioning steps lack Linux parity.
Recommendations
  • Provide Azure CLI examples using bash syntax (e.g., export VAR=VALUE) alongside Windows cmd.exe syntax.
  • Include Linux shell (bash) equivalents for all Azure CLI commands, especially for variable assignment and file paths.
  • Offer cluster creation/configuration examples using Azure CLI or ARM templates, which are cross-platform, not just PowerShell.
  • Clearly indicate which commands/scripts are platform-specific and offer alternatives where possible.
  • Reorder examples so that cross-platform or Linux-native methods are presented first or equally with Windows methods.
