Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. While it claims support for both Azure CLI (Linux) and Azure PowerShell (Windows), there is a consistent pattern of presenting PowerShell examples and tooling either before or alongside CLI/Linux equivalents, sometimes with more detail. Script deployment and management examples are often shown with Azure PowerShell commands, and there is no explicit example of running a native Linux shell script outside of Azure CLI context. Additionally, the deployment instructions for running Bicep files use Azure PowerShell exclusively, with no Bash or cross-platform CLI alternative provided. The documentation also references Windows-centric tools and patterns (e.g., PowerShell, Connect-AzAccount) more prominently than Linux-native equivalents.
Recommendations:
- Provide Bash or shell script examples for deploying Bicep files, not just Azure PowerShell.
- When listing management commands (e.g., for deploying, monitoring, or troubleshooting), present Azure CLI (Linux/cross-platform) examples before or alongside PowerShell, not after.
- Include explicit Linux-native script examples (e.g., Bash scripts) outside of the Azure CLI context, demonstrating how to interact with the deployment script resource from a Linux environment.
- Balance the use of PowerShell and CLI examples throughout the documentation, ensuring that Linux users see their workflows represented equally.
- Reference Linux-native authentication patterns (e.g., az login) with equal prominence as Connect-AzAccount.
- Where possible, clarify that both Windows and Linux environments are supported, and provide parity in troubleshooting and development environment setup instructions.
