Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a bias toward Windows and PowerShell usage. Most command-line examples for deploying templates, managing identities, and configuring access policies are provided only in PowerShell, with no Bash or Linux shell equivalents. The use of PowerShell is presented as the default, and there is little mention of cross-platform alternatives or explicit Linux support. This may hinder Linux users or those who prefer Bash/CLI workflows.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Azure CLI (az) commands for all PowerShell examples, especially for template deployment, identity management, and key vault access policy configuration.
  • Explicitly mention that Azure CLI works cross-platform (Windows, Linux, macOS) and encourage its use for non-Windows environments.
  • Add Bash script examples where appropriate, especially for steps involving file manipulation, environment variables, or automation.
  • Clarify in notes or callouts which commands are platform-specific and which are cross-platform.
  • Consider reordering examples so that CLI/Bash alternatives are presented before or alongside PowerShell, or use tabs to allow users to select their preferred environment.
