Summary
The documentation provides command examples for Azure CLI, PowerShell, and REST API. PowerShell is a Windows-centric tool, and its examples are given equal prominence as Azure CLI, which is cross-platform. There is a slight Windows bias due to the inclusion of PowerShell examples and instructions (e.g., Connect-AzAccount), which are most commonly used on Windows. There are no Linux-specific shell examples (e.g., Bash), nor are Linux authentication patterns (such as using environment variables or managed identities) discussed. The documentation does not mention Linux-specific tools or patterns and does not clarify that Azure CLI is fully cross-platform, potentially leading to the perception that Windows tools are primary.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Bash shell examples alongside Azure CLI commands to demonstrate Linux usage.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI is fully cross-platform and can be used on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
  • Mention Linux authentication alternatives (such as using environment variables, managed identities, or Azure CLI login methods) where relevant.
  • Consider reducing the prominence of PowerShell examples or providing them as secondary to CLI/Bash examples.
  • Add notes or sections for Linux users, including troubleshooting tips or environment setup instructions.
