Summary
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias by frequently referencing Windows-specific tools and environments (PowerShell, Bash on Ubuntu on Windows, Windows Subsystem for Linux) and often listing Windows options before Linux equivalents. PowerShell examples are provided for every scenario, sometimes with additional detail, and Windows-specific installation guides are referenced. There is an assumption that users are on Windows, with Linux mentioned as an alternative or afterthought. Some examples and instructions (e.g., jq pathing) are tailored for Windows users, and Azure PowerShell cmdlets are promoted without Linux CLI equivalents.
Recommendations
  • Provide native Linux shell examples and instructions, not just Bash on Ubuntu on Windows.
  • List Linux/Unix options first or equally alongside Windows options.
  • Include Linux-native installation and usage instructions for required tools (e.g., jq).
  • Reference Linux command-line tools and environments (e.g., curl, bash) without Windows context when describing Linux clusters.
  • Offer Azure CLI equivalents for PowerShell cmdlets where possible.
  • Clarify that all examples work on Linux and macOS, not just Windows Subsystem for Linux.
  • Remove or balance references to Windows-specific environments unless strictly necessary.
