Summary
The documentation provides command-line examples for Azure CLI, PowerShell, and REST API, but PowerShell is given equal prominence to Azure CLI and is referenced frequently. PowerShell is a Windows-centric tool, and its inclusion as a primary example (alongside Azure CLI) may indicate a Windows bias. Additionally, links to further documentation (e.g., 'Assign Azure roles') point to PowerShell-specific pages. There is no mention of Linux-specific shell scripting or alternative Linux-native tools. The documentation does not explicitly state platform requirements, but the heavy use of PowerShell and references to Windows tools suggest a bias toward Windows environments.
Recommendations
  • Ensure Azure CLI examples are presented first, as it is cross-platform and more widely used on Linux.
  • Add explicit notes clarifying that Azure CLI commands work natively on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
  • Avoid linking only to PowerShell documentation; provide equivalent links to Azure CLI documentation.
  • Include Bash shell scripting examples where appropriate, especially for automation scenarios.
  • Clarify that PowerShell Core is available cross-platform, but avoid assuming users are on Windows.
  • Consider mentioning Linux-native tools or workflows where relevant, to improve parity.
