Summary
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows environments. All command-line examples use PowerShell cmdlets, and sample outputs are from Windows PowerShell. The instructions for obtaining storage account keys and certificates reference only Windows tools and paths. Storage Explorer instructions assume a Windows environment, and there are no Linux or cross-platform command-line examples or alternative tools mentioned. There is no guidance for Linux or macOS users on how to perform equivalent tasks.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent command-line examples using Azure CLI (az) for Linux/macOS users alongside PowerShell examples.
  • Include sample outputs from non-Windows environments (e.g., bash shell).
  • Mention and link to cross-platform tools (e.g., Azure CLI, Storage Explorer for Linux/macOS) and provide installation instructions.
  • Clarify certificate handling steps for Linux/macOS (e.g., PEM vs. CER, import paths, commands).
  • Explicitly state that the procedures are cross-platform where possible, and highlight any steps that are Windows-specific.
  • Add a section or callouts for Linux/macOS users, describing any differences or additional steps required.
