Summary
The documentation page, while focused on Linux, repeatedly prioritizes Azure PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) in its examples and instructions. PowerShell is mentioned before Azure CLI in several places, and the prerequisites and deployment steps emphasize PowerShell usage, including instructions for installing it locally. There is also a mistaken reference to 'Network Watcher Agent for Windows' in the Azure CLI install example. The documentation does not provide any native Linux shell (bash) or scripting examples, and relies exclusively on Windows-oriented tools (PowerShell, Azure CLI, Portal).
Recommendations
- Provide native bash examples for Linux users, especially for local management scenarios.
- Ensure Azure CLI is presented before PowerShell in Linux-focused documentation, as CLI is more platform-agnostic.
- Remove or correct references to 'Network Watcher Agent for Windows' in CLI examples.
- Clarify that PowerShell is cross-platform, but recommend CLI or bash for Linux users.
- Add instructions for using REST API or SDKs from Linux environments.
- Explicitly mention that all steps can be performed from Linux terminals, and provide guidance for installing and using Azure CLI on Linux.
