Summary:
The documentation page, while describing a cross-platform tool (Azure Storage Explorer), exhibits subtle Windows bias. It references PowerShell and the 'Upload a VHD using PowerShell' workflow as the primary way to discover the storage account name, with screenshots and instructions that are PowerShell-centric. There is no mention of Linux command-line alternatives (such as Azure CLI), and the only scripting example is for PowerShell, a Windows-first technology. Additionally, the workflow for finding the storage account name is tied to a PowerShell-specific UI path, which may not be intuitive for Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent instructions for discovering the storage account name using Azure CLI, which is cross-platform and widely used on Linux/macOS.
- Include screenshots or references to Linux/macOS environments where applicable, not just Windows/PowerShell.
- Mention and link to documentation for uploading VHDs using Azure CLI or azcopy, both of which are cross-platform command-line tools.
- Clarify that PowerShell is not required for this workflow and offer alternative methods for users on non-Windows platforms.
- Balance the 'Related content' section by including links to Linux/macOS or CLI-based guides, not just PowerShell.
