Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation consistently provides both Azure CLI (bash) and PowerShell examples for all commands, but PowerShell is given equal prominence to bash, which is unusual since PowerShell is primarily a Windows shell. There are no Linux-specific shell examples (e.g., zsh, fish), and no mention of Linux-specific tools or patterns. The use of PowerShell tabs throughout may signal a Windows-centric approach, and the documentation does not clarify that the Azure CLI commands are cross-platform or provide guidance for Linux users beyond bash. There is no explicit Windows-only tooling, but the parity between bash and PowerShell may unintentionally prioritize Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Clarify that Azure CLI commands work on both Linux and macOS, not just Windows.
  • Consider providing examples for other popular Linux shells (e.g., zsh) or note that bash commands apply to most Unix-like environments.
  • Add a brief section or note for Linux/macOS users, highlighting any differences in environment variable syntax or prerequisites.
  • Reduce the prominence of PowerShell unless there are truly Windows-specific steps; otherwise, focus on bash as the default cross-platform shell.
  • If PowerShell is retained, clarify that PowerShell Core is available on Linux and macOS, and provide guidance for installation if relevant.
