windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a mild Windows bias by listing PowerShell as the first utility for scaling clusters, providing PowerShell-specific cmdlets, and referencing Windows-style paths in some command examples. While Azure CLI and SSH/bash commands are included, the ordering and emphasis on PowerShell and Windows tools suggest a preference for Windows environments. There are no missing Linux examples, but the documentation could better balance the presentation of Windows and Linux tools and workflows.
Recommendations:
- List Azure CLI before PowerShell in the utilities table, as CLI is cross-platform and more commonly used on Linux/macOS.
- Explicitly mention that all CLI and SSH/bash commands work on Linux, macOS, and Windows (with WSL or compatible shells).
- Where Windows-style paths (e.g., %HBASE_HOME%\bin) are used, provide equivalent Linux-style paths (e.g., $HBASE_HOME/bin) or clarify that the instructions apply to both environments.
- Ensure that all PowerShell examples are paired with equivalent bash/CLI examples where applicable.
- Add a note or section highlighting Linux/macOS usage, especially for SSH and command-line operations.
