Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways. PowerShell is presented as a primary automation method alongside the Azure Portal and Azure CLI, with detailed PowerShell examples and outputs. In multiple sections, Windows file paths (e.g., C:\Users\SampleUser\Downloads) are used in examples before or instead of Linux/Unix equivalents. The Azure CLI examples are present, but PowerShell instructions and outputs are often more detailed, and Windows-centric patterns (such as file paths and terminology) are used by default. There is minimal mention of Linux/Unix shell environments, and Linux-specific considerations (such as file paths, shell syntax, or platform differences) are not addressed.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux/Unix file path examples (e.g., /home/sampleuser/Downloads/LOA.pdf) alongside Windows paths in all relevant CLI and PowerShell commands.
  • Explicitly mention that Azure CLI commands work cross-platform and provide sample commands for Bash/zsh environments, including variable syntax differences.
  • Add notes or tabs for Linux/macOS users where file system or shell differences may affect command usage or outputs.
  • Balance PowerShell and CLI coverage by ensuring CLI examples are as detailed as PowerShell, including sample outputs and edge cases.
  • Avoid defaulting to Windows-centric terminology and paths; use neutral or dual-platform examples wherever possible.
  • Consider including Cloud Shell examples (which are Linux-based) more prominently, and clarify when commands are platform-agnostic.
