Summary
The documentation page exhibits a notable Windows bias. PowerShell is the primary method shown for most critical tasks, including cluster creation and SAS configuration, with no equivalent Bash or Linux shell examples. Azure CLI instructions use Windows-style variable setting (set VAR=VALUE) and reference Windows environments, without providing Bash/Linux alternatives. The Python and C# sections are platform-neutral, but the overall flow and critical steps (especially cluster creation and storage configuration) are Windows-centric. There is no guidance for Linux/macOS users on how to perform these tasks using Bash, shell scripting, or cross-platform tools.
Recommendations
  • Provide Bash/Linux shell equivalents for all PowerShell examples, especially for cluster creation and storage configuration.
  • Update Azure CLI sections to show both Windows (set VAR=VALUE) and Bash (export VAR=VALUE) variable syntax, and clarify differences in command usage between platforms.
  • Explicitly mention and demonstrate how to perform all steps on Linux/macOS, including prerequisites and environment setup.
  • Where possible, use cross-platform tools and commands first, or present them alongside Windows-specific instructions.
  • Add notes or callouts indicating which commands/scripts are Windows-only and provide alternatives for other platforms.
