Summary
The documentation page exhibits a moderate Windows bias. PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) is consistently presented as a primary method for scripting and automation, with detailed examples and instructions. In sections covering Bicep and ARM templates, PowerShell is mentioned before Azure CLI, and PowerShell scripts are provided first. The use of PowerShell is emphasized for tasks such as deploying templates and deleting resources, and installation instructions for the Azure PowerShell module are detailed. While Azure CLI (cross-platform) is also covered thoroughly, the ordering and prominence of PowerShell and Windows tools suggest a preference for Windows environments. There are no explicit Linux-only examples, and Linux-specific tooling or patterns (e.g., bash scripting, environment variables, package managers) are not highlighted.
Recommendations
  • Alternate the order of PowerShell and Azure CLI examples so that CLI (cross-platform) is sometimes presented first.
  • Explicitly mention that Azure CLI commands work natively on Linux and macOS, and provide installation instructions for these platforms.
  • Include Linux-specific notes, such as using bash scripts, environment variables, or package managers (apt, yum) for installing Azure CLI.
  • Where PowerShell scripts are shown, also provide equivalent bash scripts for Linux users, especially in Bicep and ARM template deployment sections.
  • Highlight that Azure Cloud Shell defaults to Bash and is accessible from any OS, not just Windows.
  • Add troubleshooting or usage tips for Linux users, such as file permissions, shell differences, or common issues encountered on non-Windows systems.
