Summary:
The documentation provides both Azure CLI (Bash) and Azure PowerShell examples throughout, but there is a subtle Windows bias. PowerShell is consistently presented as an equal alternative to Bash/CLI, and in some cases, Windows-specific tools and APIs (such as Connect-AzAccount and CommandLineToArgvW) are referenced without Linux equivalents or context. The documentation also references Windows-centric patterns (e.g., PowerShell error handling, Start-Sleep) and APIs before or more prominently than their Linux/Bash counterparts. There are no explicit Linux-only examples or guidance, and the documentation assumes familiarity with PowerShell and Windows scripting conventions.
Recommendations:
- Where Windows-specific APIs or tools are mentioned (e.g., Connect-AzAccount, CommandLineToArgvW), provide equivalent Linux/Bash context or explain their relevance for cross-platform users.
- When discussing error handling, provide Bash/Linux best practices (e.g., set -e, trap) alongside PowerShell's $ErrorActionPreference.
- Clarify that both Bash (for Azure CLI) and PowerShell (for Azure PowerShell) are supported equally, and avoid implying that PowerShell is the default or preferred scripting environment.
- Include explicit notes or examples for Linux users where behaviors may differ (e.g., file paths, environment variable access, script extensions).
- Consider adding a section or callout for cross-platform scripting tips, highlighting any differences or caveats for Linux vs. Windows users.
