Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. It references and provides migration details for several Windows-centric tools (Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code, Azure Data Lake and Stream Analytics Tools for Visual Studio, Az.HDInsight PowerShell) and .NET SDKs. PowerShell is given a dedicated migration section, and the only command-line examples for role assignment use Azure CLI (which is cross-platform, but often associated with Windows in Azure docs). Linux-specific tools, shell examples, or patterns are not mentioned. The order of tools and SDKs generally places Windows/PowerShell/.NET before Linux/Java/Python/Go equivalents.
Recommendations:
- Include migration or usage examples for Linux-native environments, such as Bash shell scripts or references to Linux package managers for SDK installation.
- Provide parity in documentation for Linux tools (e.g., Azure CLI in Bash, or scripting examples in Bash/zsh, not just PowerShell).
- Add explicit mention of Linux and macOS compatibility for all tools and SDKs, especially Azure CLI and VS Code.
- Balance the order of presentation: alternate or group Windows and non-Windows tools/SDKs together, or explicitly call out cross-platform support.
- If possible, include examples or references for managing HDInsight access from Linux-based automation (e.g., using REST API with curl, Python scripts, or Bash).
