Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation provides parity between Azure Portal, PowerShell, and Azure CLI for all major tasks. However, there is a noticeable Windows bias: PowerShell is featured as a primary automation/scripting method, and references to Azure PowerShell and Cloud Shell (which defaults to PowerShell) are prominent. There are no explicit Linux shell (bash) examples, and the CLI instructions do not mention Linux-specific usage or shell integration. The documentation assumes familiarity with PowerShell and Windows-centric tooling, and PowerShell is often mentioned before CLI, reinforcing a Windows-first approach.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit bash shell examples for Azure CLI commands, showing usage in Linux/macOS environments.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI can be used natively on Linux/macOS and provide installation and usage instructions for those platforms.
  • Include references to bash scripting and Linux terminal usage in the prerequisites and examples, not just PowerShell.
  • Balance the order of presentation so that Azure CLI (cross-platform) is not always after PowerShell, or alternate the order in different sections.
  • Mention that Azure Cloud Shell supports both bash and PowerShell, and show how to select bash for users on non-Windows platforms.
