Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias by providing only PowerShell-based setup instructions for Azure resources, with no equivalent Bash, Azure CLI, or Linux-native examples for critical steps. The initial resource creation, networking, and HDInsight cluster setup are exclusively shown in PowerShell, which is primarily used on Windows. While Azure CLI is briefly mentioned for retrieving node information, the main workflow is Windows-centric. There is no guidance for Linux/macOS users on how to perform these steps using their native tools, creating friction for non-Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Provide full Azure CLI and/or Bash script equivalents for all PowerShell examples, especially for resource creation and configuration steps.
  • Clearly indicate cross-platform options at the start of each major section, and link to Linux/macOS-specific guides where available.
  • Ensure that instructions for installing and using VPN clients are platform-agnostic, or provide platform-specific subsections.
  • Where PowerShell is used, add notes or sidebars explaining how Linux/macOS users can accomplish the same tasks.
  • Consider reordering examples so that CLI/Bash and PowerShell are presented side-by-side, or alternate which comes first.
