Summary
The documentation consistently provides Azure PowerShell examples alongside Azure CLI and portal instructions, with PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) given equal or sometimes more detailed coverage. The use of PowerShell is pervasive, and there are no Linux-specific shell or scripting examples (e.g., Bash, Zsh, or Linux-native tools). The CLI examples are generic and do not highlight Linux-specific usage or considerations. The documentation does not mention or address platform-specific differences, nor does it provide guidance for Linux users beyond the CLI, resulting in a subtle Windows bias.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Linux shell examples (e.g., Bash, Zsh) for Azure CLI commands, including environment variable usage and scripting patterns common in Linux.
  • Include notes or sections highlighting platform-specific differences, such as authentication, file path conventions, or installation steps for CLI tools on Linux.
  • Consider providing examples using Linux-native automation tools (e.g., shell scripts, cron jobs) for common tasks.
  • Clarify that PowerShell is available cross-platform, but also provide alternatives for users who prefer native Linux shells.
  • Review the ordering of examples to avoid always listing PowerShell first, and ensure parity in detail and troubleshooting guidance for CLI/Linux users.
