Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by providing only PowerShell examples for command-line operations and referencing Windows-centric tools first. There are no examples or instructions for performing the same tasks using Linux-native tools (such as Bash, Azure CLI, or SSH), which are commonly used in HDInsight clusters that often run on Linux VMs. The REST API section is platform-neutral, but the lack of Linux command-line parity is notable.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent examples using Azure CLI (az hdinsight ...) for listing and restarting nodes, as Azure CLI is cross-platform and widely used on Linux.
  • Include Bash or shell script examples for interacting with the REST API, such as using curl or httpie, to demonstrate how Linux users can perform the same operations.
  • Reorganize the documentation to present cross-platform or Linux-native options before or alongside PowerShell, rather than PowerShell first.
  • Explicitly mention that the PowerShell examples are for Windows users and provide clear alternatives for Linux/macOS users.
  • Consider referencing SSH-based troubleshooting or reboot commands for scenarios where the VM is still accessible via SSH.
