Summary:
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows environments, with all command-line examples using PowerShell, explicit references to Windows file paths (e.g., C:\WINDOWS\system32), and instructions for editing the Windows hosts file using Notepad as administrator. Tools like Storage Explorer and AzCopy are mentioned, but their usage is described in a Windows context. There are no CLI or shell examples for Linux/macOS users, and no guidance for Linux-specific workflows (e.g., editing /etc/hosts, using Linux-native editors, or running Azure CLI from Bash). Even when Linux VMs are discussed, the operational steps are Windows-centric.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent Azure CLI (az) commands for all PowerShell examples, with sample outputs from a Bash shell.
- Include Linux/macOS instructions for editing the hosts file (e.g., using sudo nano /etc/hosts) and for certificate management.
- Show file paths and command prompts for both Windows (C:\...) and Linux/macOS (/home/user/...), or use platform-agnostic variables.
- Demonstrate how to use Storage Explorer and AzCopy on Linux/macOS, including installation and usage examples.
- Ensure that all screenshots and sample outputs are balanced between Windows and Linux environments.
- Explicitly state that all steps can be performed from Linux/macOS as well as Windows, and provide any necessary prerequisites or caveats for non-Windows users.
