Summary
The documentation provides both Bash and PowerShell examples for all Azure CLI commands, but PowerShell is always presented immediately after Bash and with equal prominence. There are no Linux-specific tools or patterns mentioned outside Bash, but the presence of PowerShell examples throughout the page indicates a Windows bias, as Linux users are more likely to use Bash. There are no examples for other shells (e.g., zsh, fish) or for native Linux tools beyond Bash. The instructions for deploying MQTT clients and interacting with Kubernetes use Bash and kubectl, which are cross-platform but more common on Linux. No explicit Windows-only tools are used, but the consistent inclusion of PowerShell examples and lack of Linux-first language or examples (such as only Bash, or Bash before PowerShell) suggests a mild Windows bias.
Recommendations
  • Present Bash examples before PowerShell, or make Bash the default tab to reflect the prevalence of Linux in cloud and IoT scenarios.
  • Add a note clarifying that Bash examples work on Linux, macOS, and Windows (with WSL), while PowerShell is primarily for Windows users.
  • Consider including zsh or fish shell examples if relevant for advanced Linux users.
  • Explicitly mention that all Azure CLI commands work on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and provide guidance for installing Azure CLI on Linux.
  • If PowerShell is included, clarify its use case (e.g., for Windows users) and avoid implying it is the primary or preferred method.
