Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by primarily referencing Windows-based tools (Visual Studio, Azure Storage Explorer) and workflows, with no mention of Linux equivalents or cross-platform alternatives for key steps. Visual Studio and its extensions are highlighted for map creation and editing, and Azure Storage Explorer (a GUI tool most commonly used on Windows) is the only method described for managing blob storage. There are no CLI or Linux-native instructions, and no mention of PowerShell, but the overall workflow assumes a Windows environment.
Recommendations
  • Include instructions for creating and managing maps using cross-platform tools such as the Azure CLI or Azure PowerShell (with explicit Linux/macOS compatibility).
  • Provide examples for uploading assemblies and maps using the Azure CLI, azcopy, or REST API, which are available on Linux and macOS as well as Windows.
  • Mention and document the use of Visual Studio Code (which is cross-platform) more prominently, and clarify that the Data Mapper extension works on Linux/macOS.
  • For storage management, add steps for using az storage blob commands or azcopy for uploading files to blob storage, instead of only Azure Storage Explorer.
  • Explicitly state that all steps can be performed on Linux/macOS, or provide alternative instructions where certain tools are Windows-only.
  • Add a table or section comparing tool availability and usage across Windows, Linux, and macOS.
