Summary
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows and PowerShell usage. All command-line examples use PowerShell cmdlets, with no Bash, Azure CLI, or Linux-native shell examples. Even REST API and ARM template deployment examples are shown using PowerShell. The only non-PowerShell code sample is a single Python example, but it is not presented as an alternative to PowerShell for the main workflows. There is no mention of Linux shell, Azure CLI, or cross-platform scripting approaches, and Windows/PowerShell tools and patterns are assumed throughout.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Azure CLI (az) examples for all PowerShell workflows, including authentication, resource management, and REST API invocation.
  • Show Bash or shell script examples for REST API calls and ARM template deployments, using curl and az deployment group create.
  • Clearly indicate that all PowerShell examples can be run on Linux/macOS with PowerShell Core, or provide explicit cross-platform notes.
  • Add a section or callouts for Linux users, highlighting any differences or additional steps required.
  • Include at least one end-to-end example using only Azure CLI and Bash, to demonstrate parity for non-Windows environments.
  • Where possible, use generic terms (e.g., 'command line', 'shell') instead of assuming PowerShell as the default.
