Summary
The documentation page provides examples for REST, Azure PowerShell, and Azure CLI when creating Azure subscriptions for EA accounts. PowerShell is highlighted as a primary method, with explicit instructions to use Azure Cloud Shell (which defaults to PowerShell). PowerShell examples and terminology (cmdlets, modules) are presented before Azure CLI equivalents. There is an implicit Windows bias due to the prominence of PowerShell and the lack of explicit Linux shell examples (e.g., Bash), even though Azure CLI is cross-platform. For MCA and MPA accounts, only REST API examples are given, but the overall pattern reinforces Windows-centric tooling.
Recommendations
- Provide explicit Bash shell examples for Azure CLI commands, demonstrating usage on Linux/macOS.
- Clarify that Azure CLI is cross-platform and can be used in Bash, Zsh, or other shells, not just PowerShell.
- Avoid presenting PowerShell examples before CLI or REST unless there is a technical reason; alternate the order or group by platform.
- Mention that Azure Cloud Shell supports both Bash and PowerShell, and show how to select Bash.
- Where PowerShell modules are referenced, provide equivalent installation or usage instructions for Linux environments (e.g., using pip for Azure CLI extensions).
- Add notes or links for Linux-specific considerations, such as authentication methods, environment setup, or file path differences.
