Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a strong bias toward Windows environments. It exclusively references Microsoft-centric identity solutions (Active Directory, Microsoft Entra Domain Services), and all command-line examples are provided only in PowerShell. There is no mention of Linux-based tools or command-line equivalents, nor are there any Linux/Unix shell examples for managing authentication or domain integration. The documentation assumes a Windows-first approach, both in terminology and tooling, with no guidance for Linux administrators.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent Linux/Unix shell commands (e.g., using Azure CLI or REST API) alongside PowerShell examples for all administrative tasks.
- Include references to cross-platform tools (such as Azure CLI) and clarify which steps can be performed on non-Windows systems.
- Explicitly state the platform requirements for each step, and offer alternatives for Linux/macOS users where possible.
- Mention and, if possible, document how Linux-based clients or administrators can interact with HDInsight clusters using their native tools.
- Balance the order of presentation by not always listing Windows/PowerShell tools first, and ensure Linux options are equally visible.
