Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias: it explicitly states AzCopy is 'Windows-only' (which is outdated, as newer AzCopy versions are cross-platform), provides only Windows Command Prompt and PowerShell instructions, references Windows installation paths, and omits any Linux or macOS usage examples. There is no mention of Linux equivalents or cross-platform usage, and automation is described only in a Windows context.
Recommendations:
- Update the note about AzCopy: clarify that AzCopy v10+ is cross-platform and available for Windows, Linux, and macOS.
- Provide Linux and macOS installation instructions and example commands (e.g., using bash shell).
- Include cross-platform AzCopy usage examples, showing both Windows (cmd/PowerShell) and Linux/macOS (bash) command syntax.
- Avoid referencing only Windows-specific paths (like ProgramFiles(x86)); mention typical Linux/macOS install locations.
- When referencing automation, include examples for Linux shell scripting as well as PowerShell.
- Ensure screenshots and portal instructions do not assume PowerShell as the only automation method.
