Summary:
The documentation provides extensive PowerShell examples and references, which are primarily relevant to Windows environments. PowerShell is featured as a first-class automation option alongside Azure CLI and ARM templates, but there is no mention of Bash, shell scripting, or Linux-native tooling. The CLI examples use 'az', which is cross-platform, but the PowerShell sections are detailed and sometimes offer functionality not available in CLI (e.g., user-assigned identity for Functions). There are no explicit Linux shell or Bash examples, and PowerShell is presented as a default scripting language for automation, which may not be familiar or preferred by Linux users.
Recommendations:
- Add Bash or shell script examples for common tasks, especially where PowerShell is featured.
- Clarify that Azure CLI commands work identically on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and provide explicit Linux terminal examples where possible.
- Where PowerShell is used for automation, offer equivalent Bash or Python scripting examples to ensure Linux users have parity.
- Avoid presenting PowerShell as the only or primary scripting automation language; balance with Linux-native options.
- Explicitly mention cross-platform compatibility in sections discussing automation and scripting.
