Summary
The documentation consistently presents both Bash and PowerShell examples for every CLI step, but PowerShell is always given equal prominence and detail as Bash, rather than being secondary or omitted. In some places, PowerShell syntax is shown first (e.g., variable assignment in the 'Define the variables for solution templating' section), and PowerShell-specific instructions are present throughout. There is no explicit Linux bias, and Windows/PowerShell is treated as a first-class citizen, which may be appropriate for Azure CLI documentation but does reflect a parity bias toward Windows environments. However, there are no examples that are exclusive to Windows or PowerShell, and Linux equivalents (Bash) are always present. There is no use of Windows-only tools, and all commands are cross-platform (Azure CLI, kubectl).
Recommendations
  • Ensure Bash (Linux) examples are always listed first, as Bash is the default shell on most cross-platform environments.
  • Add explicit notes clarifying that all CLI commands work identically on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and that Bash syntax is preferred for cross-platform scripting.
  • Consider providing a single canonical Bash example for each step, with PowerShell as an optional tab for Windows users, rather than giving both equal weight.
  • Review variable naming and assignment conventions to ensure Bash/Linux idioms are primary (e.g., use $VAR=VALUE rather than $VAR = VALUE).
  • If any step is Windows-specific (e.g., file paths, environment setup), provide Linux/macOS equivalents or highlight differences.
