Summary:
The documentation page references AzCopy as the primary example utility for data transfer cost estimation, but does not mention or provide examples for Linux-native tools or cross-platform command-line usage. There are no PowerShell-specific examples, but the exclusive focus on AzCopy (which is cross-platform but often associated with Windows) and lack of explicit Linux/Unix tool references or examples (such as Azure CLI, REST API with curl, or scripting in bash) indicates a subtle Windows bias.
Recommendations:
- Explicitly mention that AzCopy is available on Windows, Linux, and macOS, and provide installation instructions or links for all platforms.
- Include examples using Azure CLI (az storage blob ...), which is widely used on Linux and macOS, alongside AzCopy examples.
- Provide sample commands for common Linux tools (e.g., curl for REST API calls) to estimate or interact with Blob Storage.
- Clarify in each example that the commands and tools are cross-platform, and where relevant, show both Windows (cmd/PowerShell) and Linux (bash) command syntax.
- Add a section or note highlighting cross-platform options for cost estimation and data transfer, ensuring Linux users are equally supported.
