Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias primarily through its repeated mention of PowerShell as the automation and scripting tool for API and subscription operations, without referencing Linux-native equivalents (such as Bash, Azure CLI, or REST calls via curl). There are no Linux-specific examples or instructions, and the only tooling mentioned for automation is PowerShell, which is traditionally associated with Windows environments. This may create the impression that Windows is the preferred or only supported platform for scripting and automation, despite Azure's cross-platform capabilities.
Recommendations
  • Include examples using Azure CLI (az), which is cross-platform and commonly used on Linux and macOS, alongside PowerShell examples.
  • Explicitly mention that all API operations can be performed via REST calls (e.g., using curl or httpie) and provide sample commands.
  • Add notes or sections clarifying that all features and operations are available on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and provide parity in instructions.
  • Where PowerShell is referenced, also provide equivalent Bash or shell script examples for Linux users.
  • Review screenshots and UI instructions to ensure they do not assume a Windows environment (e.g., file paths, UI elements, or terminology).
