Summary
The documentation provides parity between Azure CLI (Bash) and Azure PowerShell examples throughout, but there is a noticeable Windows bias: PowerShell is mentioned and demonstrated as a first-class option alongside Bash, and some steps (especially in the portal and Bicep sections) reference PowerShell and Windows-centric tooling before or equally with Linux alternatives. The documentation assumes users may be using PowerShell on Windows, and instructions for installing Bicep and Azure PowerShell are given more prominence than Linux-specific guidance. There are no explicit Linux-only examples or references to Linux-native tools (e.g., shell scripting, package managers), and the documentation does not mention WSL or Linux desktop environments. However, Azure CLI (Bash) examples are present, so Linux users are not excluded.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit references to Linux environments and workflows, such as Ubuntu, Fedora, or other distributions, and clarify that Azure CLI commands work natively on Linux.
  • Provide installation instructions for Azure CLI and Bicep using Linux package managers (apt, yum, etc.), not just generic links.
  • Include troubleshooting tips or notes for common Linux-specific issues (e.g., permissions, environment variables, file paths).
  • Mention that PowerShell Core is cross-platform, but clarify that Bash/CLI is the default on Linux.
  • Where PowerShell is referenced, clarify its use on Linux and macOS, or provide separate tabs for Linux and Windows users.
  • Consider adding a Linux-first example or workflow, especially in the portal and Bicep sections, to balance the presentation.
