Summary

The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Administrative instructions and tooling references (such as Azure PowerShell and the Azure portal) are presented before or more prominently than cross-platform alternatives. The only code sample is in C#, a language most associated with Windows development. There are no explicit Linux shell or scripting examples, and no mention of Linux-native tools or workflows. While Azure CLI is mentioned, it is listed after PowerShell, and there are no Bash or Linux-specific command examples. The documentation assumes familiarity with Windows-centric patterns and tools.

Recommendations

Provide example commands for both Azure PowerShell and Azure CLI side-by-side, making clear that Azure CLI is fully cross-platform and often preferred for Linux/macOS users.
Include at least one example of generating a SAS token using Bash/shell scripting (e.g., using openssl and curl), or link to such examples.
When referencing the Azure portal, clarify that it is web-based and platform-agnostic, but also provide CLI alternatives for all portal actions.
Add code samples in additional languages commonly used on Linux (e.g., Python, JavaScript/Node.js), or link to such samples.
Avoid using Windows-centric language (such as referencing PowerShell or C# first) unless there is a technical reason; strive for neutral ordering or explicit cross-platform parity.
Explicitly mention that all SDKs and tools are available on Linux, and provide links to relevant installation guides for Linux users.
