Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by consistently listing PowerShell instructions and examples before Azure CLI and Terraform, and by referencing PowerShell as a primary tool for configuration. There is an assumption of PowerShell availability, and no explicit mention or examples of Linux-native shell environments (e.g., Bash) outside of Azure CLI. The prerequisites and FAQs also reference PowerShell and CLI, but do not clarify cross-platform usage or provide Linux-specific guidance for prerequisites or troubleshooting.
Recommendations
  • Alternate the order of PowerShell and CLI examples, or present CLI (Bash) first to avoid implicit Windows-first bias.
  • Explicitly state that Azure CLI commands can be run natively on Linux/macOS and in Bash shells, and provide any necessary Linux-specific installation or usage notes.
  • Add troubleshooting and prerequisite notes for Linux users, such as how to install Azure CLI and Terraform on Linux, and clarify that PowerShell Core is available cross-platform but is not required for Linux users.
  • Where PowerShell is referenced, clarify that it is optional and provide equivalent Bash/CLI instructions for all steps, including feature registration and resource cleanup.
  • Consider adding a table or section that compares usage across Windows, Linux, and macOS environments, highlighting any differences or platform-specific considerations.
