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.
