Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by providing detailed PowerShell examples for all major steps, including managed identity creation, role assignment, and gallery operations, while omitting equivalent Linux/bash shell examples. Windows-centric tools (PowerShell, references to Fiddler) are mentioned before or instead of cross-platform or Linux-native alternatives. The only non-Windows command-line example is a single Azure CLI snippet for image replication, but all other scripting is PowerShell-focused. There are no bash, shell, or Linux-specific instructions for users who do not use Windows.
Recommendations
  • Add bash and Azure CLI examples for all steps currently covered only by PowerShell, such as managed identity creation, role assignment, and gallery assignment.
  • Mention cross-platform tools (e.g., curl, httpie) for REST API calls alongside or before Windows-specific tools like Fiddler and PowerShell.
  • Ensure that scripting instructions are presented in a platform-neutral order (e.g., Azure CLI/bash first, then PowerShell), or provide tabs for both environments.
  • Explicitly state that all steps can be performed from Linux/macOS environments and provide guidance for those platforms.
  • Review terminology and tool recommendations to avoid assuming a Windows environment (e.g., avoid referencing Windows-only tools unless alternatives are also provided).
