Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a mild Windows bias. While both Windows and Linux are mentioned as supported platforms, and Azure CLI examples are provided (which are cross-platform), the structure and ordering of content often present Windows-first. For example, in the 'Premium V3 availability' section, the Windows SKU availability command is listed before the Linux one. Additionally, the automation section provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples, but PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) is given a dedicated section, while no Linux shell (e.g., Bash) or scripting examples are provided. The use of PowerShell-specific parameters (like -WorkerSize) also reinforces a Windows-centric approach. There are no explicit Linux shell or scripting examples, and the documentation does not mention Linux-specific considerations or tools beyond the single CLI command for Linux workers.
Recommendations:
- Alternate the order of Windows and Linux examples to avoid always listing Windows first.
- Provide Bash or shell script examples for Linux users, especially in the automation section.
- Include Linux-specific notes or troubleshooting tips where relevant.
- Clarify that Azure CLI commands are cross-platform and can be run on both Windows and Linux.
- If PowerShell examples are included, consider also including equivalent Bash or shell scripting examples for parity.
- Ensure screenshots and UI instructions are not Windows-centric (e.g., avoid only showing Windows UI if there are differences).
