Summary
The documentation page exhibits Windows bias in several ways. PowerShell is referenced as the default or primary object model for policy manipulation, and PowerShell objects are described before CLI/file-based workflows. There are multiple mentions of PowerShell and Windows-centric patterns (such as using objects and .\ notation for file paths), while Linux-specific examples (such as Bash scripting or Linux file paths) are minimal or absent. The CLI examples use Windows-style file paths (e.g., .\filename.json) and do not provide Linux equivalents (e.g., ./filename.json). There is no explicit mention of Linux tools or workflows, and the documentation does not address cross-platform differences in scripting or file handling.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux/Bash examples alongside Windows/PowerShell examples, especially for file manipulation and scripting.
  • Use platform-neutral file path notation in CLI examples (e.g., ./filename.json instead of .\filename.json), or show both Windows and Linux variants.
  • Clarify differences in object handling between PowerShell and Bash, and offer Bash-native workflows for policy editing and manipulation.
  • Explicitly mention that the Azure CLI is cross-platform and provide guidance for Linux users where workflows differ.
  • Avoid presenting PowerShell as the default or primary workflow; instead, present CLI and Bash workflows first or in parallel.
  • Add a section on Linux prerequisites or environment setup for Azure CLI usage.
