Summary:
The documentation page for Azure Data Factory shows mild Windows bias. While the core content is platform-neutral, the 'Monitor' section highlights PowerShell as a primary automation/monitoring tool, and the 'Related content' section lists PowerShell before other SDKs (such as .NET, Python, REST). There is no mention of Linux-specific tools or CLI examples (e.g., Bash, Azure CLI), and PowerShell is referenced without noting its cross-platform availability or alternatives. The documentation does not provide Linux command-line examples or reference Linux-native tooling, which may leave Linux users feeling secondary.
Recommendations:
- Add Azure CLI examples and references alongside or before PowerShell, especially in sections discussing automation, monitoring, and deployment.
- Explicitly mention that PowerShell is cross-platform, or provide Bash/Linux shell equivalents where relevant.
- In the 'Related content' section, list Azure CLI and Python examples before or alongside PowerShell to avoid the impression of Windows-first tooling.
- Where monitoring or scripting is discussed, include references to Linux-native tools (e.g., Bash scripts, cron jobs, or integration with Linux monitoring solutions) as alternatives.
- Ensure that all code samples and quickstart links are available for both Windows and Linux environments, and make this parity clear in the documentation.
