Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias, particularly in the Azure Batch section, where PowerShell cmdlets (New-AzBatchAccount, New-AzBatchPool) are referenced as primary methods for resource creation and management, with no equivalent CLI, Bash, or Linux-native instructions provided. Additionally, Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer (a Windows-centric tool) is recommended for blob storage management, and references to 'CMDLETs & APIS' for VM sizing reinforce a Windows-first approach. While the HDInsight examples are Linux-based and the JSON configuration is OS-agnostic, the overall pattern prioritizes Windows tools and workflows.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent Azure CLI and Bash script examples alongside PowerShell cmdlets, especially for Azure Batch and resource management tasks.
- Mention and link to cross-platform or Linux-native tools for Azure Blob Storage management (e.g., Azure CLI, azcopy, or third-party Linux tools) in addition to Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer.
- When referencing 'CMDLETs & APIS', clarify that Azure CLI commands and REST APIs are equally valid and provide sample usage.
- Ensure that all example workflows and instructions are presented in a platform-neutral way, or explicitly include both Windows and Linux variants where differences exist.
- Review all tool recommendations to ensure Linux users are not required to use Windows-only utilities for common tasks.
