Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Azure PowerShell examples are consistently presented before Azure CLI examples, and PowerShell-specific concepts (such as splatting) are explained in detail, while Linux/Bash equivalents are not. Visual Studio Code is recommended as the editor, but no mention is made of alternative editors more common on Linux. There is a brief mention of a Git Bash for Windows-specific error, but no discussion of Linux shell issues. The documentation does not provide Linux-specific troubleshooting, nor does it highlight differences in experience between Windows and Linux environments.
Recommendations
  • Alternate the order of Azure PowerShell and Azure CLI examples, or present CLI examples first to avoid implicit prioritization of Windows tools.
  • Include explanations of Bash/Linux shell concepts (such as environment variables, quoting, and line continuation) similar to the PowerShell splatting explanation.
  • Mention alternative editors (e.g., Vim, Nano, Emacs) for Linux users alongside Visual Studio Code.
  • Provide troubleshooting tips for common Linux shell issues (e.g., file permissions, path separators, environment variable expansion) in addition to the Git Bash for Windows note.
  • Clarify that all CLI commands are cross-platform and highlight any platform-specific caveats.
  • Add a note or section on how to install and use Azure CLI and Bicep on Linux distributions, including package manager instructions.
