Summary
The documentation consistently lists Windows PowerShell cmdlets before Azure CLI commands when describing how to manage deployments, resource groups, and tags. This ordering may suggest a Windows-centric approach and could imply that PowerShell is the primary or preferred method, despite Azure CLI being cross-platform and widely used on Linux and macOS. There are no Linux-specific tools or shell examples provided, and the documentation does not acknowledge platform differences or recommend CLI usage for non-Windows environments.
Recommendations
  • Alternate the order of examples so that Azure CLI commands appear before PowerShell cmdlets, or present both in parallel to avoid implying preference.
  • Explicitly state that Azure CLI is cross-platform and suitable for Linux, macOS, and Windows, while PowerShell is primarily used on Windows.
  • Include bash or shell script examples for common operations, especially in sections likely to be used by Linux users.
  • Add a note clarifying platform compatibility for each tool, helping users choose the best option for their environment.
  • Consider referencing Linux-native tools or workflows where appropriate, and avoid assuming PowerShell is the default for all users.
