Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by consistently listing Windows-centric tools (PowerShell, ARM templates via PowerShell, references to Windows installation paths) before or alongside cross-platform alternatives. PowerShell is given its own dedicated section, and links for installing Azure PowerShell specifically reference Windows. There is little mention of Linux-specific patterns, and examples or instructions for Linux environments (such as Bash scripting, Linux package managers, or WSL) are absent.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Linux and macOS installation instructions for Azure CLI, Terraform, Bicep, and PowerShell (including references to package managers like apt, yum, brew, etc.).
  • Include Bash shell script examples alongside PowerShell examples for deployment automation.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI and Terraform are cross-platform and provide sample commands for Linux/macOS terminals.
  • Reference WSL for Windows users who may prefer a Linux-like environment.
  • Ensure that links to installation guides are not Windows-specific and mention platform parity.
  • Consider adding troubleshooting notes for common Linux/macOS issues (e.g., permissions, environment variables).
