Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by providing both Azure PowerShell and Azure CLI examples, but the CLI example uses Windows-style variable assignment and scripting syntax (e.g., $variable), which is not compatible with Bash or Linux shells. The PowerShell example is given in full, while there is no true Bash/Linux shell example. There is an implicit assumption that users are working in a Windows environment or using PowerShell, with no mention of Linux-specific patterns, tools, or shell scripting.
Recommendations
  • Provide a true Bash/Linux shell example for Azure CLI commands, using standard Bash variable assignment (e.g., subscriptionId="<subscription id>") and arrays.
  • Clarify which examples are for Windows/PowerShell and which are for Linux/Bash, and present them side-by-side for parity.
  • Avoid using Windows-style variable assignment ($variable) in CLI examples intended for cross-platform use.
  • Explicitly mention that Azure CLI can be used on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and provide instructions or examples for each platform where relevant.
  • Add notes or sections for Linux users, including troubleshooting tips or differences in command syntax.
