Summary
The documentation consistently uses Windows-style file paths (e.g., C:\Templates\...) in all code examples and instructions, without mentioning Linux/macOS alternatives. There are no explicit Linux/macOS file path examples, nor any notes about adapting commands for those platforms. While Azure CLI and PowerShell are cross-platform, the documentation assumes a Windows environment throughout, which may cause confusion or friction for Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations
  • Include Linux/macOS file path examples (e.g., ~/Templates/createStorageV1.json) alongside Windows paths.
  • Add notes clarifying that file paths should be adapted for the user's OS.
  • Where possible, show both Windows and Linux/macOS command variants, especially for file operations.
  • Explicitly state that Azure CLI and PowerShell are cross-platform, and provide links to installation guides for Linux/macOS.
  • Avoid using only Windows-centric terminology and examples (e.g., C:\) in cross-platform documentation.
