Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. PowerShell examples are consistently presented before Azure CLI equivalents, and the documentation refers to Windows-specific tools and environment variables (e.g., %USERPROFILE%). There is a lack of parity in some explanations, such as more detailed path examples for Windows than for Linux/Mac. While Azure CLI (cross-platform) is included, the structure and ordering favor Windows/PowerShell users.
Recommendations
  • Alternate the order of PowerShell and Azure CLI examples, or present Azure CLI (cross-platform) examples first to promote neutrality.
  • Ensure all path examples are equally detailed for Linux and Mac, not just Windows. For example, provide full Linux and Mac path examples with placeholders matching the Windows example.
  • Where Windows environment variables (e.g., %USERPROFILE%) are mentioned, also mention the Linux/Mac equivalents (e.g., $HOME).
  • Add explicit notes that Azure CLI commands work identically on Windows, Linux, and Mac, and encourage use of CLI for cross-platform scenarios.
  • Where possible, avoid Windows-centric terminology or tools unless absolutely necessary, or provide Linux/Mac alternatives in parallel.
