Summary
The documentation page exhibits Windows bias primarily in the 'Customize HDInsight configs using Bootstrap' section, where only a PowerShell example using the AZ module is provided for cluster configuration. There is no equivalent example for Linux/macOS users (e.g., Bash/CLI/ARM template), and the PowerShell tool is Windows-centric. Additionally, the PowerShell example appears before any mention of alternatives, and there is no guidance for Linux users in this critical configuration step.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent examples using Azure CLI (az hdinsight ...), Bash scripts, or ARM templates for cluster configuration and customization.
  • Explicitly mention cross-platform alternatives to PowerShell, especially for Linux/macOS users.
  • Reorder examples so that platform-neutral or Linux-native approaches are presented first or alongside Windows/PowerShell methods.
  • Add notes clarifying which tools are cross-platform and which are Windows-only.
  • Ensure all critical configuration steps can be completed from Linux/macOS environments.
