Summary
The documentation provides instructions for the Azure portal, Azure CLI, and Azure PowerShell. While Azure CLI is cross-platform, there is a notable emphasis on PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) throughout the guide. In several places, PowerShell examples and instructions are given prominence, sometimes being referenced as the preferred or only method for certain steps (e.g., creating the virtual network gateway in the portal section refers users to PowerShell). There are no explicit Linux-specific shell examples (e.g., Bash), and PowerShell is treated as a primary automation tool, which may disadvantage Linux users unfamiliar with it.
Recommendations
  • Wherever PowerShell is referenced as the only or preferred automation method, ensure equivalent Azure CLI (Bash-friendly) instructions are provided and clearly marked as cross-platform.
  • Avoid language such as 'use the PowerShell instructions' in portal sections; instead, offer both CLI and PowerShell alternatives, or clarify that CLI is cross-platform.
  • Add explicit Bash shell examples where possible, especially for scripting scenarios, to improve accessibility for Linux users.
  • In summary tables or step lists, avoid listing PowerShell before CLI, or alternate the order to avoid implicit prioritization.
  • Clarify in the prerequisites and tool installation sections that Azure CLI is fully supported on Linux and macOS, and provide links or notes for Linux users.
