Summary
The documentation page exhibits mild Windows bias in several areas. The only code example provided uses C# and the Microsoft.Azure.Storage library, which is most commonly used on Windows. Additionally, role assignment for Cosmos DB is described as only possible via Azure CLI or Azure PowerShell, with explicit mention of PowerShell before CLI. There are no Linux-specific tools, shell examples, or cross-platform code samples. The documentation does not mention Linux/macOS equivalents or provide parity in examples, which may create friction for non-Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Provide code samples in cross-platform languages (e.g., Python, Node.js) using SDKs that run on Linux/macOS.
  • Include CLI (az) examples before or alongside PowerShell, especially for role assignments and management tasks.
  • Explicitly mention that Azure CLI is cross-platform and provide Linux/macOS installation links.
  • Add shell script examples for listing blobs/files using az CLI or REST APIs.
  • Clarify that the Microsoft.Azure.Storage library is available for .NET Core, which runs on Linux/macOS, or suggest alternatives.
