Summary:
The documentation page is largely neutral and Linux-focused in its main content, as all HDInsight clusters are shown to use Ubuntu as the VM OS. However, in the 'Next steps' section, the only platform-specific guidance provided is for Windows ('Work in Apache Hadoop on HDInsight from a Windows PC'), and there is no equivalent Linux or cross-platform guidance. Additionally, in the introduction, deployment methods are listed as 'Azure portal and other deployment methods like PowerShell, CLI and the .NET SDK', with PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) mentioned before the cross-platform CLI, which may suggest a subtle Windows-first ordering.
Recommendations:
- Add equivalent Linux/macOS guidance in the 'Next steps' section, such as 'Work in Apache Hadoop on HDInsight from a Linux PC' or a general 'Work in Apache Hadoop on HDInsight from any OS' guide.
- When listing deployment methods, mention cross-platform tools (e.g., Azure CLI) before or alongside Windows-specific tools (e.g., PowerShell) to avoid implying Windows is the primary or preferred platform.
- Ensure that all platform-specific instructions or tools are paired with alternatives for other major platforms, or clarify when instructions are cross-platform.
- Consider reviewing linked articles (such as 'hdinsight-hadoop-windows-tools.md') to ensure Linux parity in tooling and documentation.
