Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by providing explicit instructions and links for using Azure PowerShell to set blob tiers, without mentioning or providing equivalent examples for Linux users (e.g., using Azure CLI or REST API). The mention of PowerShell as a primary method and the absence of Linux/Unix tooling or command-line examples creates an implicit preference for Windows environments.
Recommendations:
- Include Azure CLI examples alongside PowerShell instructions for tasks such as setting blob tiers, as Azure CLI is cross-platform and widely used on Linux.
- Explicitly mention that both Windows and Linux clients can use SMB and NFS protocols to interact with Data Box Gateway, and provide example commands for both environments.
- Add references or links to REST API documentation for users who may wish to automate tasks from non-Windows systems.
- Where PowerShell is mentioned, clarify that it is available cross-platform, but also provide Linux-native alternatives.
- Ensure that screenshots and UI instructions do not assume a Windows environment unless absolutely necessary.
