Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for managing access keys, but PowerShell scripts are given equal prominence to CLI commands, and there are no explicit Linux shell (bash) or cross-platform scripting examples. Azure CLI commands are described as running in Azure Cloud Shell (Bash), but users are told to 'modify it to run in a Windows terminal,' implying a Windows-first perspective. There are no bash or Linux-native examples for REST API calls, and PowerShell is featured as a primary method, which is Windows-centric.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit bash/Linux shell examples for REST API calls, using curl or httpie, alongside PowerShell examples.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI commands work natively on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and provide sample usage in local bash terminals.
  • Avoid language that implies Windows is the default (e.g., 'modify it to run in a Windows terminal'); instead, provide instructions for both Windows and Linux/macOS environments.
  • Where PowerShell is used, offer equivalent bash or Python examples for cross-platform parity.
  • Highlight that Azure Functions Core Tools and Azure CLI are cross-platform, and demonstrate usage in Linux/macOS environments.
