Summary
The documentation page, while describing a cross-platform tool (Azure Storage Explorer), demonstrates Windows bias by referencing PowerShell as the primary CLI method for obtaining the storage account name, including screenshots and links specifically for PowerShell. There is no mention of Linux-native CLI alternatives (such as Azure CLI or Bash), and the only command-line workflow described is via PowerShell, which is most commonly associated with Windows. Additionally, the 'Upload a VHD using PowerShell' link is highlighted before any mention of other methods, reinforcing a Windows-centric workflow.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent instructions and screenshots for obtaining the storage account name using Azure CLI (az) commands, which are cross-platform and commonly used on Linux and macOS.
  • Include a section or callout for Linux/macOS users, outlining how to perform the same steps without PowerShell.
  • When referencing command-line workflows, present both PowerShell and Azure CLI (or Bash) options, or default to Azure CLI for parity.
  • Avoid highlighting Windows-specific tools or workflows (like PowerShell) before cross-platform alternatives, or present them in parallel.
  • Explicitly state that all steps can be performed on Windows, Linux, or macOS, and provide any OS-specific notes as needed.
