Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias by exclusively providing PowerShell-based automation examples for all Palo Alto configuration steps. All CLI commands are shown as being run in a PowerShell window, and there are no Bash, Linux shell, or cross-platform scripting alternatives. The use of Windows-centric tools and syntax (e.g., PowerShell variable notation, backticks for line continuation) further reinforces the bias. There is no mention of how to perform these tasks on Linux or macOS, nor are there any examples using Bash, curl, or Python, which are common on non-Windows platforms.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Bash or shell script examples for all automation steps, especially for REST API calls (using curl or wget).
  • Include instructions for running Azure CLI commands in Bash or zsh, with appropriate syntax (e.g., using \ for line continuation).
  • Clarify that the automation can be performed on Linux/macOS and specify any required dependencies (e.g., curl, jq, Azure CLI).
  • Avoid exclusive use of PowerShell variable syntax in documentation; use generic placeholders or show both PowerShell and Bash alternatives.
  • Add a section or note highlighting cross-platform compatibility and any differences in command usage between Windows and Linux/macOS.
