Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by providing only PowerShell examples for REST API calls, recommending PowerShell as the primary tool, and omitting equivalent Linux/macOS command-line examples (such as curl or HTTPie). Windows tooling and patterns (PowerShell cmdlets, Azure Cloud Shell with PowerShell) are mentioned exclusively and before any cross-platform alternatives.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent Linux/macOS command-line examples using curl, HTTPie, or similar tools for making REST API calls.
  • Present cross-platform tools (e.g., ARMClient, Azure CLI) before or alongside PowerShell, and clarify their OS compatibility.
  • Include explicit instructions for authentication and header generation using non-Windows tools (e.g., Azure CLI with curl).
  • Ensure that all code samples are available in both PowerShell and bash/shell script formats.
  • Mention that Azure Cloud Shell supports both Bash and PowerShell, and provide examples for both.
