Summary
The documentation provides detailed PowerShell commands (Get-CloudDrive, Dismount-CloudDrive) for managing Cloud Shell storage, but does not offer equivalent Bash or Linux shell commands. The only command-line examples are in PowerShell, and the section 'Use PowerShell commands' is prominent, with no mention of Bash or Linux alternatives. This creates a Windows/Powershell-centric bias and may disadvantage users who prefer or use the Bash environment in Azure Cloud Shell.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Bash/Azure CLI commands for all PowerShell examples (e.g., show how to get file share info and unmount with Bash/CLI).
  • Add a 'Use Bash commands' section alongside 'Use PowerShell commands' to ensure parity.
  • When introducing commands or tools, mention both PowerShell and Bash/CLI options together, or alternate which is presented first.
  • Explicitly state that both Bash and PowerShell are supported in Cloud Shell, and link to relevant documentation for each.
  • Review the documentation for other implicit Windows-centric patterns (such as terminology or file paths) and ensure they are cross-platform.
