Summary

The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All command-line examples use PowerShell and reference Windows file paths (e.g., C:\ADF). There are no equivalent instructions or examples for Linux or cross-platform CLI tools (such as Azure CLI or Bash). The tutorial and walkthrough links also focus on Azure PowerShell, reinforcing the Windows-centric approach.

Recommendations

Add equivalent Azure CLI (az) examples for all PowerShell commands, including pipeline creation, linked service setup, dataset creation, and pipeline execution.
Include Linux/macOS file path examples (e.g., /home/user/ADF) alongside Windows paths.
Explicitly mention cross-platform compatibility and provide instructions for running the workflow on Linux/macOS.
Link to tutorials or quickstarts that use Azure CLI or REST API, not just PowerShell.
Add a note clarifying that the steps can be performed on non-Windows platforms, and highlight any platform-specific considerations.
