Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. The primary deployment method described is via the Azure portal, which is a GUI and most familiar to Windows users. Where command-line options are mentioned, Azure PowerShell is consistently listed alongside Azure CLI, and in some cases, PowerShell is referenced first (e.g., in the 'Deploy templates' link). The documentation refers to deployment via the Azure portal and PowerShell before mentioning Azure CLI or REST API, and the 'Deploy templates' link points to a PowerShell-focused page. There are no Linux-specific instructions, nor is there mention of Linux shell scripting patterns or tools. However, Azure CLI examples are present, which are cross-platform, and no explicit Windows-only commands are given.
Recommendations
  • Ensure that Azure CLI examples are given equal prominence to PowerShell, and consider listing CLI before PowerShell in sections and links, as CLI is more universal across platforms.
  • Add explicit notes that Azure CLI commands work on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and provide example shell scripts (bash) for common tasks such as deployment and cleanup.
  • Where the documentation references 'Deploy templates' via PowerShell, also provide a direct link to the Azure CLI deployment documentation.
  • In the 'Clean up resources' section, provide bash shell script examples alongside PowerShell, and clarify that the CLI commands are cross-platform.
  • Consider including a short section or callout for Linux/macOS users, highlighting any differences or tips for using the Azure CLI or REST API from those platforms.
  • Review the ordering of tools and ensure that cross-platform options (CLI, REST API) are not presented as secondary to Windows-centric tools (PowerShell, portal).
