Summary
The documentation shows mild Windows bias. PowerShell is presented as a primary deployment method alongside Portal and CLI, and is given equal prominence in tabs and examples. In the CLI prerequisites, Bash is mentioned, but the example suggests using Git Bash (a Windows-centric Bash shell) rather than native Bash on Linux/macOS. There is no explicit Linux example or mention of Linux-specific shell environments. The CLI examples are generic and would work on Linux, but the documentation does not clarify this or provide parity in tool recommendations.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly mention that Azure CLI commands work on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and provide examples for native Bash environments on Linux/macOS.
  • In the CLI prerequisites, recommend native Bash on Linux/macOS as well as Git Bash for Windows, to avoid Windows-centric tool bias.
  • Consider adding a note that PowerShell is available on Linux and macOS, and provide installation instructions or links for those platforms.
  • Where possible, clarify cross-platform compatibility for all tools and commands.
  • Ensure that Linux and macOS users are equally addressed in prerequisites and examples, not just Windows users.
