Summary
The documentation references both Windows and Linux in the context of HDInsight clusters, but it often lists Windows before Linux (e.g., 'Windows/Linux-based HDInsight cluster'), which subtly prioritizes Windows. The only explicit tooling example in the 'Related content' section is a Spark tutorial using PowerShell, a Windows-centric tool, with no Linux/bash equivalent provided. There are no command-line examples or walkthroughs for Linux users, and .NET custom activities are highlighted without mention of cross-platform alternatives.
Recommendations
  • When mentioning supported platforms, list Linux before or alongside Windows to avoid implicit prioritization (e.g., 'Linux/Windows-based HDInsight cluster').
  • Provide equivalent tutorials and examples using bash or other Linux-native tools alongside PowerShell examples.
  • Include references to cross-platform SDKs or scripting languages (such as Python) when discussing custom activities, not just .NET.
  • In the 'Related content' section, add links to tutorials that use Linux command-line environments or tools.
  • Explicitly state platform parity where it exists, and call out any platform-specific limitations or differences.
