Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias by providing only Windows PowerShell examples, referencing Windows-specific tools and environments (such as 'elevated Windows PowerShell session'), and omitting any Linux or cross-platform CLI examples. There is no mention of Azure CLI, Bash, or other Linux-compatible scripting approaches, and all sample outputs are from a Windows environment.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent instructions and examples using Azure CLI (az commands), which is cross-platform and works on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
  • Provide Bash script examples for blob tiering operations, especially for users on Linux or macOS.
  • Explicitly mention that Azure PowerShell can be used on Linux and macOS (via PowerShell Core), and provide any necessary adjustments for those platforms.
  • Include sample outputs from non-Windows environments to demonstrate parity.
  • Rephrase steps to avoid assuming a Windows environment (e.g., 'Open a terminal' instead of 'Open an elevated Windows PowerShell session').
