Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and PowerShell examples for all operations, which is good for cross-platform parity. However, in the PowerShell section, it recommends ARMClient—a Windows-only .exe tool—for REST operations, without mentioning Linux alternatives (such as curl or httpie). There are no Linux-specific examples or guidance for users who prefer Bash or native Linux tools for REST calls, and the PowerShell examples assume a Windows environment. This creates a subtle Windows bias, especially in the tooling recommendations.
Recommendations
- In the PowerShell section, mention that ARMClient is Windows-only and suggest Linux/macOS alternatives such as curl, httpie, or using PowerShell Core on Linux.
- Provide explicit Bash/curl examples for REST operations alongside Azure CLI and PowerShell, or at least mention that Azure CLI and PowerShell Core are cross-platform.
- Clarify that PowerShell 7+ and Azure CLI are available on Linux and macOS, and provide installation links for those platforms.
- Avoid recommending Windows-only tools (like ARMClient) without cross-platform alternatives.
- Add a note or tab for Linux users, showing how to perform REST operations with native tools.
