Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by providing only Azure PowerShell instructions for setting blob tiers, without mentioning or providing equivalent Linux/CLI examples. The use of PowerShell as the primary automation tool and the lack of explicit Linux/Unix command-line alternatives (such as Azure CLI or REST API) may disadvantage Linux users. Additionally, the documentation does not clarify cross-platform compatibility or provide Linux-specific guidance for common tasks.
Recommendations:
- Include Azure CLI examples alongside or before PowerShell instructions for tasks such as setting blob tiers, as Azure CLI is cross-platform and widely used on Linux.
- Explicitly mention that Data Box Gateway supports both SMB and NFS, and provide example commands for both Windows and Linux clients (e.g., using mount, smbclient, or NFS utilities on Linux).
- Where PowerShell scripts are referenced, add equivalent Bash or shell script examples for Linux users.
- Clarify any platform-specific requirements or differences in the setup and usage of Data Box Gateway.
- Review all step-by-step procedures to ensure Linux users are not required to infer or translate Windows-specific instructions.
