Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. PowerShell examples are extensive and detailed, often appearing before Azure CLI equivalents. The prerequisites and instructions for PowerShell include detailed steps about installing modules and connecting to Azure, which are specific to Windows environments. There is no mention of Linux-specific shell environments (e.g., Bash) or alternative scripting approaches, and the CLI examples do not reference Linux usage patterns or shell differences. The documentation assumes familiarity with Windows tools and patterns, and PowerShell is treated as a primary automation method.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Bash shell examples for Azure CLI commands, including usage in Linux/macOS terminals and Cloud Shell.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI commands are cross-platform and provide notes or examples for Linux/macOS users (e.g., differences in command syntax, environment setup).
  • Balance the order of examples so that CLI and PowerShell are presented with equal prominence, or alternate which comes first.
  • Reduce the emphasis on PowerShell-specific prerequisites and add equivalent guidance for Bash/Unix shell environments (e.g., verifying Azure CLI installation, authentication steps in Linux).
  • Mention that Azure Cloud Shell supports both Bash and PowerShell, and provide links or instructions for using Bash in Cloud Shell.
  • Where possible, use generic terminology (e.g., 'shell' or 'terminal') instead of 'PowerShell' when referring to command-line usage.
