Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a bias toward Windows by exclusively providing C#/.NET code samples, referencing the Microsoft Azure IoT SDK for .NET, and assuming the use of Windows-centric development tools and workflows. There are no examples or guidance for Linux users, alternative SDKs (such as Python or Node.js), or cross-platform command-line usage. The instructions for obtaining connection strings and managing resources are tailored to the Azure Portal UI, which is more commonly used on Windows, and there is no mention of Azure CLI or Powershell alternatives for Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations
  • Provide code samples using cross-platform SDKs, such as Python or Node.js, in addition to C#/.NET.
  • Include instructions and examples for performing import/export operations using the Azure CLI, which is available on all platforms.
  • Explicitly mention that the SDK and examples can be used on Linux and macOS, and provide setup instructions for those environments.
  • Add guidance for obtaining connection strings and managing resources using command-line tools (Azure CLI, az commands) rather than only through the Azure Portal.
  • Where possible, avoid referencing Windows-specific tools or workflows, or provide Linux/macOS equivalents alongside them.
