Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by providing only PowerShell-based CLI examples for scripting and automation, explicitly instructing users to open a Windows PowerShell command window. There are no equivalent examples for Linux users (e.g., Bash, Azure CLI), and file paths in AzCopy examples use Windows-style paths. The documentation refers to Windows tools and patterns before or instead of cross-platform or Linux-native alternatives.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Azure CLI (az) examples for all PowerShell scripts, as Azure CLI is cross-platform and widely used on Linux and macOS.
  • Avoid instructions that explicitly reference 'Windows PowerShell command window'; instead, use neutral language like 'open a terminal window'.
  • When showing file paths (e.g., in AzCopy examples), include both Windows and Linux/macOS path formats, or use placeholders and explain both.
  • Mention and demonstrate the use of cross-platform tools (e.g., Azure CLI, AzCopy) equally alongside PowerShell.
  • If referencing Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer, clarify its cross-platform availability.
  • Add Bash or shell script examples where appropriate, especially for common administrative tasks.
  • Ensure that any .NET code samples are supplemented with samples for other languages commonly used on Linux, where possible.
