Summary
The documentation provides both Unix Shell and Windows PowerShell examples for all variable definitions and file creation steps. However, Windows PowerShell examples are given equal prominence and detail as Unix Shell, rather than being secondary or referenced as alternatives. The structure (tabbed sections for both shells) is balanced, but the use of PowerShell-specific constructs (e.g., Out-File, heredoc syntax) and explicit PowerShell tabs throughout indicates a strong focus on Windows parity, possibly at the expense of Linux-first conventions. There is no evidence of missing Linux examples, but the documentation does not prioritize Linux or Unix shell usage, which is more common in cloud-native and Kubernetes environments.
Recommendations
  • Consider making Unix Shell examples the default or primary example, with PowerShell as a secondary tab or alternative, reflecting the prevalence of Linux in cloud-native deployments.
  • Add a short note explaining which example to use based on the user's operating system, and recommend Unix Shell for most Kubernetes/Azure CLI workflows.
  • Where possible, use cross-platform commands and avoid PowerShell-specific constructs unless strictly necessary.
  • Highlight any differences or limitations when using PowerShell versus Unix Shell, especially for file manipulation and environment variable handling.
  • Ensure that all steps (including file editing and command-line operations) are equally clear for Linux users, and avoid implying that Windows is the default platform.
