Summary
The documentation references Azure PowerShell and Windows PowerShell cmdlets as a primary method for cluster customization and setup, and mentions 'Work in Apache Hadoop on HDInsight from a Windows PC' in the related content. While Azure CLI and cURL are also listed, PowerShell is given equal or greater prominence, and script actions are described as being available from the Azure portal, HDInsight Windows PowerShell cmdlets, or the .NET SDK, with no explicit mention of Linux shell equivalents or parity in scripting examples. The related content also highlights Windows tools before Linux alternatives.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly mention and provide examples for Linux shell scripting and Azure CLI wherever PowerShell is referenced.
  • Ensure that Linux/macOS command-line tools are listed before or alongside Windows tools in tables and related content.
  • Add links to Linux/macOS-specific tutorials and tools in the 'Related content' section.
  • Clarify that script actions can be invoked from Azure CLI and provide example commands.
  • Avoid using 'Windows PowerShell' as the default or primary scripting method; present cross-platform options equally.
