Summary
The documentation demonstrates some Windows bias, particularly in the Azure Batch section, where PowerShell cmdlets (New-AzBatchAccount, New-AzBatchPool) are referenced as the primary method for resource creation and management, with no equivalent Linux/CLI examples. Windows tools such as Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer are mentioned for storage management, with no mention of Linux-native alternatives. The documentation also refers to 'CMDLETs & APIS' for VM sizing, which is a Windows-centric term. While the HDInsight examples specify Linux as the default OS, and the JSON configuration is platform-neutral, the overall pattern is to mention Windows tools and patterns first or exclusively.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Azure CLI (az) commands alongside PowerShell cmdlets for Azure Batch and other resource management tasks, ensuring parity for Linux and macOS users.
  • When referencing tools like Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer, also mention cross-platform or Linux-native alternatives (e.g., AzCopy, Azure CLI storage commands, or third-party Linux-compatible tools).
  • Use neutral terminology such as 'commands' or 'APIs' instead of 'CMDLETs' when referring to resource configuration, or clarify that both PowerShell and CLI options are available.
  • Where possible, include Linux shell (bash) script examples or references, especially for common operational tasks (e.g., deleting storage containers, managing clusters).
  • Ensure that documentation sections referencing management or troubleshooting steps do not assume use of Windows-only tools or interfaces.
