Summary
This documentation page is heavily biased towards Windows. The Azure Storage Emulator is explicitly Windows-only, with all installation, usage, and command-line instructions referencing Windows tools, patterns, and paths (e.g., SQL Server LocalDB, Windows authentication, Start menu, Windows taskbar, PowerShell). There are no Linux/macOS usage examples, and the only mention of cross-platform support is a brief note recommending Azurite for non-Windows platforms, without any substantive guidance or parity in examples.
Recommendations
- Add clear, step-by-step instructions for using Azurite on Linux/macOS, including installation, initialization, and usage.
- Provide equivalent command-line and scripting examples for Azurite, using Bash or other common Linux/macOS tools.
- Include a comparison table highlighting feature parity and differences between Storage Emulator (Windows) and Azurite (cross-platform).
- Move the Azurite recommendation and cross-platform guidance to the top of the page, making it the primary focus for new development.
- Explicitly state that Storage Emulator is deprecated and Windows-only at the beginning, with links to Azurite documentation for Linux/macOS users.
