Summary
The documentation provides a Windows-centric example for uploading a VHD using AzCopy, specifically referencing 'AzCopy.exe' and a Windows file path ('c:\somewhere\mydisk.vhd'), without offering a Linux/macOS equivalent. While the rest of the CLI commands are cross-platform, the AzCopy upload step is presented only for Windows, which may confuse or hinder Linux/macOS users. Additionally, the Windows example appears before any mention of Linux usage, and there is no explicit guidance for Linux/macOS users regarding AzCopy usage or file paths.
Recommendations
  • Add a Linux/macOS AzCopy example, using the typical command-line syntax (e.g., './azcopy' or 'azcopy') and a Linux-style file path (e.g., '/home/user/mydisk.vhd').
  • Clarify that AzCopy is cross-platform and provide download/install instructions for Linux/macOS.
  • Mention any OS-specific considerations for AzCopy usage, such as executable naming or permissions.
  • Present both Windows and Linux/macOS examples side-by-side, or note that the command is identical except for path syntax.
