Summary:
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for deployment, resource review, and cleanup. However, it consistently presents Azure PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) as an equal alternative to Azure CLI, and includes PowerShell prerequisites and instructions. There is no mention of Linux-specific considerations, nor are there examples for Bash scripting or other Linux-native tools. The structure and language assume parity between CLI and PowerShell, which may unintentionally prioritize Windows users or workflows.
Recommendations:
- Clearly indicate that Azure CLI is cross-platform and preferred for Linux/macOS users, while PowerShell is primarily for Windows (unless using PowerShell Core).
- Add explicit Bash shell examples or notes for Linux/macOS users, especially for file operations (e.g., saving the Bicep file).
- Reorder sections to present Azure CLI examples before PowerShell, or clarify that CLI is the default for non-Windows environments.
- Include a note or section on running these commands on Linux/macOS, including any differences in prerequisites or environment setup.
- Remove or de-emphasize PowerShell prerequisites for users not on Windows, or provide equivalent Linux/macOS setup instructions.
