Summary:
The documentation is generally cross-platform, focusing on Azure CLI, which works on all major OSes. However, there are subtle Windows biases: the AzCopy example uses a Windows file path ('C:\myDirectory\myFile.txt') without a Linux/macOS equivalent, and no Linux/macOS example is provided for AzCopy. The only explicit file creation example uses 'vi', which is cross-platform but more common on Linux/macOS. Overall, the documentation could better demonstrate parity by including Linux/macOS-specific examples where Windows-specific patterns are shown.
Recommendations:
- For every example using a Windows file path (e.g., 'C:\myDirectory\myFile.txt'), provide a Linux/macOS equivalent (e.g., '~/myDirectory/myFile.txt').
- In the AzCopy section, show both Windows and Linux/macOS command examples side by side.
- Explicitly state that AzCopy is available on all major platforms and provide installation links for each.
- Where file creation is demonstrated (e.g., using 'vi'), briefly mention alternatives for Windows users (e.g., 'notepad').
- Review all examples to ensure that neither OS is implicitly prioritized, and that users on any platform can follow along without confusion.
