Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias by referencing Visual Studio Code (VS Code) and the Microsoft Sentinel extension as the primary environment for running Jupyter notebooks, without mentioning Linux/macOS alternatives or confirming cross-platform compatibility. There are no explicit PowerShell examples, but the setup instructions and context assume a Windows-centric workflow. The code samples themselves are Python and Spark-based, which are cross-platform, but the lack of guidance for Linux/macOS users on installation, environment setup, or troubleshooting creates friction.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly state that the examples and the Microsoft Sentinel extension for VS Code are supported on Linux and macOS, or provide alternative instructions if not.
  • Add setup instructions for Linux/macOS users, including installation of VS Code, Python, Spark, and the Sentinel extension.
  • Mention other Jupyter notebook environments (e.g., JupyterLab, classic Jupyter Notebook) and clarify compatibility.
  • Provide troubleshooting tips for common Linux/macOS issues (e.g., permissions, package installation, Spark configuration).
  • If any features are Windows-only, clearly call this out and suggest alternatives or workarounds for Linux/macOS.
