Summary
The documentation page exhibits moderate Windows bias. The only code example provided uses C# and the Microsoft.Azure.Storage library, which is most commonly used in Windows/.NET environments. In the section about assigning roles for Cosmos DB, Azure PowerShell and Azure CLI are mentioned, but PowerShell is listed first and the instructions do not clarify Linux/macOS usage. There are no explicit Linux or cross-platform examples, and no mention of Linux-specific tools or patterns. The documentation assumes familiarity with Windows-centric development environments.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent code samples using cross-platform languages (e.g., Python, Node.js) and SDKs that work natively on Linux/macOS.
  • When referencing Azure CLI and PowerShell, clarify that Azure CLI is fully supported on Linux/macOS and provide explicit Linux/macOS command examples.
  • Add notes or examples for listing blobs/files using Linux tools (e.g., az CLI, REST API via curl, Python SDK).
  • Ensure that instructions for role assignment and other management tasks include Linux/macOS compatible steps and do not default to PowerShell.
  • Where possible, avoid listing Windows/PowerShell tools before cross-platform alternatives.
