Summary
The documentation provides step-by-step instructions for creating an IoT Central application using the Azure portal, Azure CLI, and Azure PowerShell. The PowerShell example is given equal prominence as the CLI example, but there is no mention of Linux-specific tooling or shell environments (e.g., Bash), nor are there examples tailored for Linux users. The CLI instructions are generic and could apply to Linux, but the explicit inclusion of PowerShell and lack of Linux/Bash examples or references creates a subtle Windows bias. Additionally, the documentation references the Azure portal and PowerShell, both of which are more commonly used in Windows environments.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Bash shell examples for the Azure CLI commands, including notes about compatibility with Linux/macOS terminals.
  • Clarify that the Azure CLI commands work cross-platform (Windows, Linux, macOS) and provide any necessary instructions for installing the CLI on Linux.
  • Include references to Linux-native tools or environments where applicable (e.g., mention that PowerShell Core is available on Linux, or suggest using Bash for scripting).
  • Reorder or balance the presentation so that CLI and Linux-friendly methods are not implicitly secondary to Windows/PowerShell approaches.
  • Add troubleshooting notes or links for common Linux-specific issues (e.g., permissions, package installation).
