Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for managing access keys, but PowerShell scripts are given equal prominence and detail as CLI commands. PowerShell is a Windows-centric tool, while Bash or shell scripting is more common on Linux/macOS. The CLI examples mention Azure Cloud Shell (Bash), but there are no explicit Bash or Linux shell script examples. Additionally, the CLI command includes a note that it must be modified to run in a Windows terminal, but there is no reciprocal guidance for running PowerShell on Linux/macOS. The documentation does not mention Linux-specific tools or patterns, and PowerShell examples may be less accessible to Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Bash shell script examples for key management tasks, especially for REST API calls, to complement PowerShell scripts.
  • Clarify that Azure PowerShell can be used cross-platform, but provide instructions or examples for installing and running it on Linux/macOS.
  • Ensure that CLI and Bash examples are presented before or alongside PowerShell examples to avoid Windows-first perception.
  • Include notes or links for Linux/macOS users on how to perform equivalent operations, especially where file handling or environment setup differs.
  • Where possible, use platform-agnostic tools (e.g., Azure CLI, REST API via curl) as primary examples, with PowerShell as an additional option.
