Summary
The documentation demonstrates Windows bias in several ways. The step-by-step instructions for creating resources are exclusively based on the Azure portal UI, which is most commonly used on Windows. The scripting examples for resource management are presented first in Azure PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool), with Azure CLI examples provided afterwards. There are no Linux-specific shell or automation examples (e.g., bash, scripting with curl, or REST API via Linux tools), nor is there any mention of Linux-native tools or workflows. The documentation does not reference Linux environments, nor does it provide parity for Linux users in terms of command-line or scripting guidance.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-first or cross-platform examples, such as bash scripts using Azure CLI, and clarify that Azure CLI is available on Windows, Linux, and macOS.
  • Include REST API examples using curl or httpie, which are common on Linux systems.
  • Add explicit notes or sections for Linux users, such as how to install and use Azure CLI on Linux, or how to automate tasks with bash.
  • Ensure that scripting examples are not always presented with PowerShell first; alternate the order or provide both side-by-side.
  • Mention that the Azure portal is web-based and accessible from any OS, but also highlight command-line alternatives for users who prefer Linux environments.
