Summary
The documentation contains several instances of Windows bias, notably in the Custom section for Azure Batch, where troubleshooting and file extraction examples use PowerShell commands and reference 'powershell.exe'. Windows tools like Fiddler are recommended for network troubleshooting, with no mention of Linux alternatives. In the section on unsupported compression, Windows is referenced as the default environment for creating zip files, and the behavior of Windows compression tools is described before mentioning third-party alternatives. These examples and tool recommendations are given without Linux/macOS equivalents or alternatives, and Windows-centric instructions appear first or exclusively.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux/macOS commands for file extraction (e.g., 'unzip', 'tar', or '7z') alongside PowerShell examples.
  • Mention cross-platform or Linux-native troubleshooting tools (e.g., tcpdump, Wireshark, curl) when discussing network diagnostics, not just Fiddler.
  • When discussing compression issues, include guidance for Linux/macOS users (e.g., how to create zip files with 'deflate' using 'zip' CLI or other tools).
  • Ensure that examples and instructions are not Windows-first; present cross-platform solutions or alternate between platforms.
  • Explicitly state platform requirements or limitations where relevant, so users on Linux/macOS are aware of possible issues.
