Summary
The documentation displays a mild Windows bias in the prerequisites section, where Windows and PowerShell options are listed before Linux alternatives, and there is a strong emphasis on Visual Studio Code (a Microsoft tool). However, the main Terraform examples are provided for both Linux and Windows containers in parallel, and the implementation steps use Bash commands, which are cross-platform. There are no missing Linux examples, but the ordering and tool recommendations slightly favor Windows users.
Recommendations
- List Linux/Bash options before Windows/PowerShell in the prerequisites to avoid the impression of Windows-first bias.
- Include explicit mention that Bash commands work on both Linux and macOS, not just Windows (via WSL or Git Bash).
- Provide alternative editor instructions for users who do not use Visual Studio Code (e.g., nano, vim, or other editors).
- Clarify that the Azure Cloud Shell is available in both Bash and PowerShell, and works identically across platforms.
- Where possible, balance the mention of Windows and Linux tools and avoid defaulting to Microsoft-centric tooling.
