Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows-first bias in several areas. Windows examples and terminology are presented before Linux equivalents, especially in the availability section. PowerShell scripting is highlighted alongside Azure CLI, but there are no Linux shell (bash) or scripting examples. The use of Windows-centric tools and patterns (e.g., PowerShell, references to Windows SKUs) is prevalent, while Linux-specific automation or deployment workflows are not covered. There is also a lack of parity in scripting examples for Linux users.
Recommendations:
- Present Linux and Windows options in parallel or alternate their order to avoid a Windows-first impression.
- Include bash shell scripting examples for automating tasks, not just Azure CLI and PowerShell.
- Expand automation sections to mention Linux-native tools and scripting environments (e.g., bash, sh) and provide equivalent examples.
- Clarify when instructions or features are Windows-specific, and provide Linux-specific guidance where applicable.
- Ensure that all code samples and automation workflows are cross-platform or provide platform-specific variants side by side.
