Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. PowerShell is consistently presented as a primary automation example, often before Azure CLI. All automation examples use either Azure PowerShell or Azure CLI, with no mention of Bash, shell scripting, or Linux-native tools. The documentation refers to PowerShell cmdlets and patterns, which are more familiar to Windows users, and does not provide parity for Linux users beyond the Azure CLI. There are no explicit Linux-specific instructions or examples, and the sample code references (e.g., StackExchange.Redis, ASP.NET) are .NET-centric, further reinforcing a Windows-oriented perspective.
Recommendations:
- Provide Bash or shell script equivalents for all PowerShell examples, especially for common scaling operations.
- Explicitly mention that Azure CLI commands work cross-platform and, where relevant, show them in a Bash context (e.g., with environment variables or piping).
- Add a section or callout for Linux users, clarifying that all operations can be performed from Linux/macOS using Azure CLI, and link to Azure CLI installation instructions for those platforms.
- Include at least one example using a Linux-native tool (e.g., curl with the Azure REST API) for advanced users.
- Balance .NET/PowerShell sample code with Python or Node.js examples, which are more common in Linux environments.
