Summary
The documentation provides extensive PowerShell examples, including file paths and commands that are specific to Windows environments (e.g., D:\testFiles), and references to PowerShell as a primary automation tool. While Azure CLI examples are present (which are cross-platform), the PowerShell sections are more detailed, and there are no explicit Linux shell (bash) or native Linux file system examples. The documentation also references Windows-style file paths and omits Linux-specific guidance for file uploads or scripting, potentially making it less approachable for Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit bash/Linux shell examples alongside PowerShell, especially for file operations (e.g., uploading files to Azure Storage using az CLI and Linux file paths like /home/user/testFiles/textfile.csv).
  • Avoid using Windows-specific file paths (e.g., D:\testFiles) in generic examples; provide both Windows and Linux path variants.
  • Clarify that PowerShell commands can be run cross-platform (e.g., in Azure Cloud Shell), but also provide equivalent bash/CLI workflows for Linux users.
  • Ensure that all automation and scripting examples are available in both PowerShell and bash/CLI formats, with equal detail and explanation.
  • Mention Linux tools (e.g., azcopy, curl, or bash scripting) where appropriate, not just Windows-centric tools.
