Summary
The documentation provides examples for Azure Portal, Azure CLI, and PowerShell. While Azure CLI is cross-platform, PowerShell examples are given equal prominence and detail, and some PowerShell commands reference Windows-specific file paths (e.g., D:\testFiles). There are no explicit Linux/macOS shell examples (e.g., Bash scripts for file upload), and PowerShell is presented as a primary automation option, which may create friction for Linux/macOS users. Additionally, in some sections, PowerShell instructions reference running commands locally or in Azure Cloud Shell, but do not clarify Linux usage or alternatives.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Bash or shell script examples for file operations, especially for uploading files to Azure Storage from Linux/macOS.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI commands work equally on Windows, Linux, and macOS, and highlight any OS-specific considerations.
  • Avoid Windows-specific file paths in examples (e.g., use generic paths or show both Windows and Linux/macOS variants).
  • Where PowerShell is referenced, note that Azure Cloud Shell supports Bash and PowerShell, and provide Bash equivalents for common tasks.
  • Consider reordering examples so that cross-platform options (Azure CLI, Bash) are presented before PowerShell.
