Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows-first bias by presenting Windows-related information and tools before Linux equivalents. Azure PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) is given a dedicated section, while Linux-specific automation (e.g., Bash scripting) is not mentioned. The portal instructions and screenshots are Windows-oriented, and there are no Linux-specific examples for automating deployments or scaling operations. Although Azure CLI is cross-platform, the lack of explicit Linux/Bash scripting examples and the ordering of Windows information before Linux equivalents indicate a bias.
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux/Bash scripting examples alongside PowerShell for automation tasks.
- Ensure Linux-specific instructions and screenshots are included where relevant, especially for portal workflows that may differ.
- Present Linux and Windows options in parallel, rather than listing Windows first.
- Include guidance for Linux container scenarios, especially since Premium V4 supports custom containers on Linux.
- Clarify any differences in experience or limitations between Windows and Linux throughout the documentation.
