Summary:
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows, as the Azure Storage Emulator is only available for Windows. All setup, usage, and command-line instructions are Windows-specific, referencing Windows tools (SQL Server LocalDB, SSMS, Windows authentication, Windows taskbar, Command Prompt). The only code example for generating a SAS token uses Azure PowerShell, with no Linux or cross-platform CLI alternatives. While Azurite is mentioned as the cross-platform replacement, no practical Linux or Azurite usage examples are provided, and the documentation does not guide Linux/macOS users on equivalent workflows.
Recommendations:
- Add a clear section or callout at the top directing Linux/macOS users to Azurite, with a link to detailed Azurite setup and usage documentation.
- Provide parallel examples for Azurite, including installation (npm, Docker), starting the emulator, and connecting to it from code.
- Include cross-platform command-line examples (e.g., Azure CLI, Bash) for generating SAS tokens and interacting with the emulator, not just PowerShell.
- Mention and demonstrate how to use Azurite with popular Linux tools and shells.
- Where Windows-specific tools are referenced (e.g., SSMS, LocalDB), suggest cross-platform alternatives or clarify their scope.
- Ensure that all code and workflow examples have Linux/macOS equivalents or clear guidance for non-Windows users.
