Summary
The documentation consistently provides both Bash (Azure CLI) and PowerShell examples for each command, with PowerShell examples using the Az PowerShell module. PowerShell is a Windows-centric shell, and its inclusion throughout the document signals a bias toward Windows users. In several sections, PowerShell examples are presented immediately after Bash, sometimes with more detailed object usage, reinforcing Windows-first patterns. There are no Linux-specific shell examples beyond Bash, and no mention of Linux-native tools or scripting patterns. The documentation does not acknowledge that PowerShell is available cross-platform, nor does it provide parity for other Linux shells (e.g., zsh, fish) or scripting environments.
Recommendations
- Clarify that PowerShell is available cross-platform, but Bash is the default shell on most Linux distributions.
- Add notes or examples for other popular Linux shells (e.g., zsh, fish) if relevant, or explicitly state that Bash examples are applicable to most Linux environments.
- Consider providing examples using native Linux scripting patterns (e.g., using environment variables, piping, jq for JSON parsing) where appropriate.
- Ensure that Bash examples are as detailed and feature-rich as PowerShell examples, especially where PowerShell uses objects or advanced parameter passing.
- Add a section explaining the parity between Azure CLI usage on Windows, Linux, and macOS, and clarify any platform-specific caveats.
- Avoid implying that PowerShell is the primary or preferred automation tool for Azure unless justified by usage statistics.
