Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. The PowerShell approach is presented before the Azure CLI approach, and all command-line examples for scripting and automation use Windows-centric tools (PowerShell, Az PowerShell module). There is no mention of Linux shell equivalents for PowerShell commands, nor are Bash or Linux-native tools (other than Azure CLI and jq) discussed for common administrative tasks. The CLI section does use Azure CLI and jq, which are cross-platform, but PowerShell is still emphasized and presented first. There are no explicit Linux/macOS examples for tasks like workspace creation or DCR management.
Recommendations
- Present Azure CLI (cross-platform) instructions before PowerShell, or at least side-by-side.
- Include Bash shell script examples for Linux/macOS users, especially for tasks like workspace creation and DCR management.
- Explicitly state that Azure CLI and jq commands work on Linux/macOS and provide any necessary installation instructions.
- Where PowerShell is used, provide equivalent Bash or shell commands for Linux/macOS environments.
- Avoid language like 'you must use PowerShell' unless truly required; clarify when PowerShell is necessary and why.
- Add a section or note on Linux/macOS compatibility and best practices for HDInsight cluster management.
