Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and PowerShell examples for every step, but PowerShell is featured as a first-class option throughout, which is primarily a Windows shell. There are no explicit Linux shell examples (e.g., bash scripts), and PowerShell is presented alongside Azure CLI in all code tabs, despite Azure CLI being cross-platform and PowerShell being Windows-centric for most users. Additionally, some environment variable handling and command syntax (e.g., use of $VAR vs. $VAR=) may be confusing for Linux users, and there is no mention of Linux-specific patterns or troubleshooting.
Recommendations
  • Remove PowerShell examples or move them to a separate section, making Azure CLI/bash the default and primary example.
  • Explicitly mention that Azure CLI commands are cross-platform and provide bash-specific syntax for environment variables and scripting.
  • Add troubleshooting notes for Linux users, such as handling file permissions, differences in base64 encoding flags (e.g., -w0 vs. --wrap=0), and shell compatibility.
  • Include a note clarifying that PowerShell examples are intended for Windows users, and recommend bash for Linux/macOS.
  • Where environment variables are set, use export statements for bash and clarify differences with PowerShell.
  • Ensure that any references to tools or patterns (e.g., load balancer setup, file paths) include Linux equivalents or considerations.
