Summary:
The documentation displays a Windows bias by consistently referencing Windows tools (such as Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer), presenting Windows as the default or only option in several steps (e.g., in-portal editing for Azure Functions), and listing Azure PowerShell before Azure CLI. There are no Linux-specific instructions or parity notes for Linux users, and examples for command-line operations do not include Bash or Linux shell alternatives. The documentation assumes use of Windows-centric tools and workflows, with minimal acknowledgment of cross-platform needs.
Recommendations:
- Provide explicit Linux/macOS instructions and screenshots where applicable, especially for command-line steps and tool installation.
- When referencing command-line tools, present Azure CLI examples before or alongside Azure PowerShell, as Azure CLI is cross-platform.
- Mention and link to alternative tools for managing Azure Storage on Linux/macOS (e.g., AzCopy, Azure CLI, or third-party tools) in addition to Storage Explorer.
- Clarify when features (like in-portal editing) are Windows-only, and provide guidance for Linux users (e.g., how to develop and deploy Azure Functions from Linux).
- Include notes or callouts for Linux/macOS users throughout the tutorial, especially in setup and troubleshooting sections.
- Balance screenshots and UI walkthroughs by including those from non-Windows environments where possible.
