Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by providing explicit instructions and links for using Azure PowerShell to set blob tiers, while not mentioning or providing equivalent CLI or Linux-native examples. The only scripting example given is for Azure PowerShell, and there is no reference to Azure CLI, Bash, or Linux-specific workflows. The documentation also refers to SMB protocol (commonly associated with Windows environments) before NFS, and does not clarify Linux compatibility or provide Linux-centric guidance.
Recommendations:
- Add Azure CLI and Bash script examples for setting blob tiers and managing lifecycle policies, alongside or before PowerShell examples.
- Explicitly mention Linux compatibility for Data Box Gateway, including supported protocols and any required configuration steps for Linux clients.
- Provide NFS-based examples and workflows, especially for data transfer and share creation, to cater to Linux/Unix users.
- Ensure that all instructions referencing PowerShell have equivalent CLI or REST API alternatives documented.
- Review the order of protocol/tool mentions (e.g., mention NFS before SMB where appropriate, or present both equally) to avoid implicit prioritization of Windows environments.
