Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias, primarily through the prominence and prioritization of PowerShell examples and references to Windows-centric tools and workflows. PowerShell is highlighted in notes and examples, sometimes before or alongside Azure CLI, and there is an assumption of Visual Studio usage for configuration. There is little to no explicit mention of Linux shell or cross-platform scripting alternatives, and some links and guidance (such as for Redis or Application Insights) direct users to PowerShell-based instructions.
Recommendations:
- Ensure that all command-line examples are provided in both PowerShell and Bash/Azure CLI formats, with equal prominence and clarity.
- When referencing tools like Visual Studio, also mention cross-platform alternatives (e.g., VS Code, JetBrains Rider) and provide equivalent configuration steps for Linux/macOS users.
- Avoid language that assumes a Windows environment by default; clarify when instructions are platform-agnostic or provide OS-specific guidance as needed.
- Where links point to PowerShell-heavy documentation (e.g., Redis management), add or reference equivalent CLI or REST API documentation.
- In developer guidance, explicitly state that all major Azure SDKs and tools are cross-platform, and provide links to Linux/macOS installation and usage guides.
- Review and update any tables or sections that reference Windows-specific endpoints, tools, or workflows to ensure Linux parity is maintained.
