Summary
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows tools and workflows, such as PowerShell and ARMClient, and by referencing Windows-specific installation instructions before cross-platform alternatives. PowerShell is introduced and used before Azure CLI, and ARMClient (a Windows-centric tool) is listed as a prerequisite. There is a lack of explicit Linux/macOS installation or usage guidance, and no mention of Linux-specific shell or scripting examples.
Recommendations
  • Provide cross-platform installation instructions for Azure CLI and ARMClient, including Linux and macOS, not just Windows.
  • Present Azure CLI examples before or alongside PowerShell examples, as CLI is cross-platform.
  • Include bash or shell script examples for Linux/macOS users where scripting is demonstrated.
  • Clarify that ARMClient can be used on non-Windows platforms (if true), or suggest alternative tools for Linux/macOS.
  • Balance references to PowerShell and CLI throughout the document, ensuring neither is given undue prominence.
  • Explicitly mention platform compatibility for all tools and commands.
  • Add a table or section summarizing tool/platform compatibility and installation links for Windows, Linux, and macOS.
