Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Azure PowerShell examples, referencing Windows file paths (e.g., C:\policies\coolAccessTier.json), and omitting Linux-specific instructions or examples (such as bash shell or Linux file paths). PowerShell usage is described in detail before Azure CLI, and there are no explicit Linux shell or cross-platform notes. The documentation assumes familiarity with Windows conventions and tools, which may disadvantage Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-specific examples, such as using bash shell and Linux file paths (e.g., /home/user/policies/coolAccessTier.json) alongside Windows examples.
  • Add notes clarifying that Azure CLI and REST API are cross-platform and can be used on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
  • Ensure parity in example ordering: present Azure CLI and PowerShell examples together or alternate their order to avoid Windows-first bias.
  • Include instructions for installing and using Azure CLI and PowerShell on Linux systems.
  • Avoid exclusive use of Windows-centric terminology (e.g., 'right-click', 'C:\') and provide equivalent actions for Linux environments.
  • Explicitly mention that all commands (except PowerShell-specific ones) work on Linux, and provide troubleshooting tips for Linux users.
