Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and PowerShell examples for all major operations. However, in the PowerShell sections, it exclusively recommends and demonstrates the use of ARMClient, a Windows-centric tool (armclient.exe), without mentioning or providing Linux alternatives for REST operations. There is no mention of cross-platform REST tools (e.g., curl, httpie) in the prerequisites or examples, and ARMClient is not natively available for Linux. This creates a bias toward Windows users in the PowerShell workflow and REST tooling recommendations.
Recommendations
- In the PowerShell prerequisites, mention and provide examples for cross-platform REST tools such as curl or httpie, which are available on both Windows and Linux.
- Clarify whether ARMClient can be used on Linux (e.g., via .NET Core), or suggest alternative approaches for Linux users.
- Add explicit Linux/WSL instructions for PowerShell users, or recommend using Azure CLI for Linux environments.
- Where REST operations are demonstrated, provide examples using curl or httpie alongside ARMClient, especially for users who may not have ARMClient available.
- Review and update documentation to ensure that all tooling and examples are accessible and functional on both Windows and Linux platforms.
