Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and PowerShell examples for investigating policy errors, but the PowerShell section is given equal prominence and detail, despite PowerShell being primarily a Windows tool (though available on Linux). There are no Linux-specific shell examples (e.g., Bash), and PowerShell usage is described with Windows-centric cmdlets and patterns. The documentation does not mention Linux tools or workflows, nor does it clarify cross-platform compatibility for the PowerShell commands.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly state that Azure CLI and PowerShell are available on both Windows and Linux, and clarify any platform-specific differences.
  • Add Bash shell examples for querying policy definitions and assignments using Azure CLI, demonstrating usage in a Linux environment.
  • If PowerShell examples are retained, note that PowerShell Core is cross-platform and provide guidance for Linux users on installation and usage.
  • Consider adding a section or note about using these commands in cloud shells (Azure Cloud Shell), which supports both Bash and PowerShell, to highlight platform neutrality.
  • Review the order of examples: present Azure CLI (which is natively cross-platform) before PowerShell, and avoid implying PowerShell is the default or preferred method.
