Summary:
The documentation provides command-line examples for Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell, but does not offer Linux-specific shell examples (e.g., Bash scripts or curl commands) where relevant. In sections where multiple tooling options are shown, Azure PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) is given equal prominence to Azure CLI, and in some cases, appears before or alongside CLI without clarifying cross-platform applicability. There are no explicit Linux-only or macOS-specific instructions, and no mention of platform differences in using tools like nslookup or Azure CLI. This may create a perception of Windows bias and insufficient Linux parity.
Recommendations:
- Add explicit Bash/shell examples where appropriate, especially for common tasks (e.g., using curl/jq to parse JSON, or Bash scripting for automation).
- Clarify that Azure CLI commands are cross-platform and can be run on Linux, macOS, and Windows, while Azure PowerShell is primarily a Windows tool but also available cross-platform.
- When listing multiple tooling options, present Azure CLI (the most cross-platform tool) before PowerShell, or clearly indicate which tools are recommended for which platforms.
- Include notes or callouts for any platform-specific differences in command usage or output.
- Where possible, provide examples of using native Linux tools (e.g., dig as an alternative to nslookup) and mention their installation if not present by default.
