Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by providing detailed instructions and examples exclusively for PowerShell, with no mention of Linux or macOS command-line equivalents (such as Bash, Azure CLI, or shell scripting). The PowerShell method is presented first and in greater detail, while the REST API method is described generically without platform-specific guidance. There are no Linux/macOS-specific instructions or examples, which may create friction for non-Windows users.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent instructions and examples for Linux/macOS users, such as using Bash scripts or the Azure CLI to perform the import operation.
- Provide sample REST API calls using curl or httpie, which are common tools on Linux/macOS.
- Clarify that PowerShell Core is cross-platform, if applicable, and provide installation guidance for Linux/macOS users.
- Reorder or balance the examples so that Windows and Linux/macOS methods are presented with equal prominence.
