Summary
The documentation consistently presents Azure PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) examples and references before Azure CLI (cross-platform) equivalents. Role definition property examples and sample outputs are shown first for Azure PowerShell, then for Azure CLI/REST. The phrase 'as displayed in Azure PowerShell and Azure CLI' is used, but PowerShell is always listed first and shown separately. There are no explicit Linux-specific examples or mentions of Linux shell usage, and no guidance for Linux users on how outputs may differ or how to use native Linux tools. The documentation assumes familiarity with PowerShell, which is traditionally a Windows tool, despite its recent availability on Linux.
Recommendations
  • Alternate the order of examples between Azure PowerShell and Azure CLI, or present CLI examples first to emphasize cross-platform parity.
  • Explicitly mention that Azure CLI is available and commonly used on Linux/macOS, and provide guidance for Linux users where relevant.
  • Include sample commands and outputs using Bash or other native Linux shells, especially for tasks that can be accomplished with Azure CLI.
  • Clarify that PowerShell is available on Linux, but that CLI is often the default on Linux systems.
  • Add a section or note on platform differences, if any, in tool usage or output formatting.
  • Ensure that REST API examples are presented as a fully cross-platform alternative, with curl or HTTPie usage shown.
