Summary
The documentation page exhibits a moderate Windows bias. The ARM template deployment section exclusively provides a PowerShell example, with no Azure CLI or Bash equivalent, which may disadvantage Linux/macOS users. PowerShell is presented first and most prominently throughout, and instructions for copying/pasting scripts reference Windows-centric UI patterns (right-click, paste). Although the Bicep section includes both CLI and PowerShell, the ARM template section does not. There are no explicit Linux shell examples for ARM template deployment, and the initial deployment workflow assumes familiarity with PowerShell and Windows conventions.
Recommendations
  • Add Azure CLI and Bash examples for ARM template deployment alongside PowerShell, ensuring Linux/macOS users have clear, native instructions.
  • Present CLI (cross-platform) and PowerShell examples side-by-side or in tabs, rather than PowerShell-first, to avoid implicit prioritization of Windows tooling.
  • Clarify that Azure Cloud Shell supports both Bash and PowerShell, and provide instructions for both environments.
  • Revise UI instructions (e.g., copy/paste) to be platform-neutral, mentioning keyboard shortcuts for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
  • Ensure all resource management (deployment, deletion) examples are available in both CLI and PowerShell formats.
