Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Azure PowerShell is listed as a primary tool for uploading data, but it is only available on Windows, with no Linux equivalent or alternative PowerShell Core mention. Several graphical clients are Windows-only, and the table lists more Windows-specific tools than Linux ones. Some tools (e.g., AzCopy) are available on both, but the documentation does not highlight Linux installation or usage. There are no explicit Linux command-line examples (e.g., using Azure CLI or AzCopy on Linux), and the 'Mount Azure Storage as Local Drive' section links to a resource that is typically Windows-centric, with no mention of Linux mounting options.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit Linux command-line examples for uploading data using Azure CLI and AzCopy, including installation and usage instructions.
  • Mention and demonstrate PowerShell Core (cross-platform) if PowerShell examples are included, or provide Bash equivalents.
  • Balance the graphical client table by highlighting Linux-compatible tools and noting when a tool is Windows-only.
  • For mounting Azure Storage as a local drive, include Linux-specific methods (e.g., blobfuse, rclone) and provide links to relevant documentation.
  • When listing tools/utilities, avoid listing Windows-only tools before cross-platform or Linux tools, or clearly indicate platform support.
  • Ensure that all major workflows (upload, mount, SDK usage) have Linux parity in documentation and examples.
