Summary
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias by predominantly featuring PowerShell examples, using Windows-centric tools and terminology, and providing step-by-step instructions and sample scripts primarily in PowerShell before mentioning Azure CLI/bash equivalents. References to Windows APIs (e.g., CommandLineToArgvW) and tools (e.g., ARMClient in PowerShell) further reinforce this bias. Linux/bash examples are present but less emphasized, and there are few, if any, direct bash script samples or troubleshooting steps compared to PowerShell.
Recommendations
  • Provide equal numbers of Azure CLI/bash script examples alongside PowerShell samples, including full ARM template snippets and output handling.
  • Ensure that step-by-step instructions (e.g., 'Try it' sections) offer both PowerShell and Azure CLI/bash workflows, with clear guidance for Linux/macOS users.
  • Mention Azure CLI/bash options first or in parallel with PowerShell, especially in introductory and sample sections.
  • Replace or supplement Windows-specific references (e.g., CommandLineToArgvW) with cross-platform alternatives or explanations.
  • Include troubleshooting and resource management examples using Azure CLI/bash, not just PowerShell.
  • Highlight the underlying Linux container environment more explicitly, and clarify any differences or limitations for script execution between PowerShell and bash.
  • Add links to Linux/macOS setup guides for Azure CLI and scripting environments.
