Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias primarily through exclusive use of Azure PowerShell for resource creation examples, with no equivalent CLI or REST API instructions. The only code sample provided is in PowerShell, a Windows-centric tool, and there is no mention of Linux-native tools or cross-platform alternatives. This may disadvantage users on Linux or macOS, who would typically use Azure CLI or ARM templates. Additionally, the documentation references PowerShell before any other automation or scripting approach.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent examples using Azure CLI, which is cross-platform and widely used on Linux and macOS.
  • Include REST API or ARM template examples for resource creation to ensure platform neutrality.
  • Add notes or links to documentation for Linux/macOS users on how to perform the same tasks without PowerShell.
  • Avoid referencing Windows-specific tools (like PowerShell) as the default or only method; present cross-platform options first or alongside.
  • Review screenshots and UI instructions to ensure they are not Windows-centric (e.g., Azure Portal screenshots are generally fine, but avoid showing Windows-only tools).
