Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows tools and patterns (PowerShell, Windows paths, screenshots) are consistently presented first or exclusively. Installation instructions for Azure CLI list Windows before Linux and macOS. PowerShell is given equal or greater prominence than Azure CLI, despite CLI being cross-platform. Examples and notes often reference Windows-specific behaviors (e.g., backslashes in CLI commands). There are no explicit Linux shell screenshots, and some instructions (like file path selection) assume Windows conventions. There is no mention of Linux-native editors or shell environments beyond Bash for Azure CLI.
Recommendations
  • Alternate the order of tool presentation (sometimes show Azure CLI before PowerShell) to avoid Windows-first bias.
  • Include Linux-specific screenshots and file navigation instructions where relevant.
  • Explicitly mention Linux-native editors (e.g., Vim, nano, gedit) as alternatives to Visual Studio Code.
  • Provide examples for running Azure CLI commands in other shells (e.g., zsh, fish) and clarify cross-platform differences.
  • Add notes about file path conventions on Linux/macOS (forward slashes, home directory, etc.).
  • Ensure installation instructions for CLI tools do not prioritize Windows over Linux/macOS.
  • Consider including a section on deploying templates from Linux environments, possibly with automation scripts.
