Summary
The documentation provides extensive PowerShell examples and details, including object creation and cmdlet usage, which are specific to Windows environments. PowerShell instructions are given equal prominence to Azure CLI, but the PowerShell section is much more detailed and assumes familiarity with Windows tooling. There is no mention of Linux-specific shell scripting, environment variable management patterns, or alternative tools (e.g., Bash, zsh, or cloud-native YAML manifests). The documentation implicitly favors Windows users by focusing on PowerShell and omitting Linux-centric approaches.
Recommendations
- Add Linux shell (Bash) examples for managing environment variables, such as using environment variable files or inline shell commands.
- Include guidance for users working in Linux environments, such as using Azure CLI from Bash or zsh, and how to set environment variables in those shells.
- Mention cross-platform compatibility of Azure CLI and clarify that PowerShell is optional, not required.
- Provide parity in example detail: if PowerShell examples include object creation and advanced usage, offer equivalent Bash scripting or YAML manifest examples for Linux users.
- Reference Linux tools and patterns (e.g., exporting variables, using .env files) alongside Windows/PowerShell approaches.
