Summary
The documentation page lists Microsoft tools for accessing Azure Storage, with Azure PowerShell and AzCopy highlighted as Windows-only or Windows-first options. Azure PowerShell is only available for Windows, and AzCopy is listed as available for Windows and Linux, but not macOS. The tools table places Windows-specific tools alongside cross-platform ones, and PowerShell is given a dedicated mention. However, the main command-line examples for interacting with HDFS and storage use bash and Hadoop tools, which are Linux-centric and suitable for HDInsight's default Linux clusters. There are no explicit PowerShell or Windows command examples for core tasks, but the tools section does show a slight Windows bias.
Recommendations
- Clarify that AzCopy is available for macOS as well as Linux and Windows.
- Provide parity for PowerShell by mentioning Linux/macOS alternatives (e.g., Bash scripts, Python SDK).
- List cross-platform tools (Azure CLI, AzCopy) before Windows-only tools (PowerShell) in tables and descriptions.
- Explicitly state that HDInsight clusters are Linux-based and most examples use Linux shell commands.
- Add a note for Windows users on how to run bash commands (e.g., via WSL or Azure Cloud Shell).
