Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. PowerShell is consistently presented as a primary method for scripting and automation, with detailed examples and instructions. In sections describing deployment via Bicep and ARM templates, PowerShell is mentioned before Azure CLI, and PowerShell commands are given first. The use of PowerShell-specific modules and installation instructions further reinforces the Windows-centric approach. While Azure CLI (which is cross-platform) is covered thoroughly and Cloud Shell is highlighted as Bash-based, the overall structure and ordering of examples and instructions tend to prioritize Windows/PowerShell tools over Linux-native or cross-platform alternatives.
Recommendations
  • Alternate the order of PowerShell and Azure CLI examples, or present Azure CLI first in some sections to avoid implicit prioritization of Windows tools.
  • Explicitly mention that Azure CLI and Cloud Shell Bash are fully supported on Linux and macOS, and provide links to installation guides for those platforms.
  • Where PowerShell installation is described, also include instructions for installing Azure CLI on Linux and macOS.
  • In Bicep and ARM template deployment instructions, present Azure CLI and PowerShell examples side-by-side, or clarify that both are equally supported.
  • Consider including a short section or note on using Bash scripts for automation, especially for Linux users.
  • Review images and screenshots to ensure they do not exclusively depict Windows environments or PowerShell terminals.
