Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. The primary upload example uses 'AzCopy.exe' with a Windows-style path (c:\somewhere\mydisk.vhd), and does not provide a Linux/macOS equivalent (e.g., 'azcopy' or './azcopy' with POSIX paths). The mention of preparing VHDs links to a Windows-specific guide, with no Linux preparation guidance. While most Azure CLI examples are cross-platform, the AzCopy usage and file path conventions are Windows-centric, and Linux usage is not explicitly shown.
Recommendations
  • Provide AzCopy example commands for Linux/macOS, using POSIX-style paths (e.g., '/home/user/mydisk.vhd') and the appropriate binary name ('azcopy' or './azcopy').
  • Add a link or section for preparing VHDs on Linux, not just Windows.
  • Explicitly mention that AzCopy is available for Linux/macOS and provide installation instructions or a reference.
  • Where file paths are shown, include both Windows and Linux/macOS variants, or use generic placeholders.
  • Clarify that all Azure CLI commands work on Linux/macOS, and highlight any OS-specific caveats if present.
