Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: PowerShell is presented as the primary automation tool for cloud-based solutions, often before or in more detail than Azure CLI. Windows-specific tools and terminology (e.g., PowerShell, references to 'IoT Edge for Linux on Windows') are prominent, while Linux-native patterns and examples are less visible or missing. In some sections, PowerShell examples are given without equivalent Bash or Linux shell examples, and Windows tools are mentioned before their Linux counterparts.
Recommendations
  • Ensure CLI (Azure CLI) examples are presented before or alongside PowerShell, especially for cloud-based scenarios.
  • Add explicit Bash/Linux shell examples where only PowerShell is shown.
  • Avoid referring to Windows-specific tools (e.g., PowerShell) as the default or primary automation method; present cross-platform options equally.
  • Include references to Linux-native workflows and tools (e.g., Bash scripts, systemd, etc.) where relevant.
  • Review and update links and tabs to ensure Linux parity and visibility, such as including 'Linux' tabs in code samples and walkthroughs.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI is cross-platform and suitable for both Windows and Linux users.
