Summary
The documentation provides examples for Azure Portal, Azure CLI, and PowerShell, but the PowerShell examples are prominent and include Windows-specific file paths (e.g., D:\testFiles\textfile.csv) and usage patterns. There is no mention of Linux-specific shell commands (e.g., Bash), nor are there examples using Linux-native tools or file paths. PowerShell is presented as a primary automation method alongside Azure CLI, but Linux/Bash alternatives are missing. The documentation also references launching Cloud Shell, which supports Bash, but does not provide Bash examples. This creates a subtle bias toward Windows and PowerShell environments.
Recommendations
  • Add Bash shell examples for all CLI procedures, especially for resource creation and file uploads.
  • Replace or supplement Windows file paths (e.g., D:\testFiles\textfile.csv) with Linux-style paths (e.g., /home/user/testFiles/textfile.csv) in examples.
  • Explicitly mention that Azure CLI commands can be run in Bash on Linux/macOS, and provide guidance for Linux users where relevant.
  • Where PowerShell is referenced, provide equivalent Bash or shell script alternatives for Linux users.
  • Clarify that Cloud Shell supports both Bash and PowerShell, and offer examples for both environments.
