Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for deployment, resource review, and cleanup. However, PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) is given equal prominence to Azure CLI, and is presented as a primary method alongside CLI, rather than as a secondary or alternative. There is no explicit mention of Linux shell scripting or native Linux tools, nor are there examples tailored for Linux users (e.g., bash scripts, environment setup notes for Linux). The documentation does not clarify that Azure CLI is cross-platform and preferred for Linux/macOS users, which may subtly reinforce a Windows/PowerShell bias.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly state that Azure CLI is cross-platform and recommended for Linux/macOS users, while PowerShell is primarily for Windows.
  • Present Azure CLI examples before PowerShell examples to reinforce CLI as the default, especially for non-Windows platforms.
  • Add a note or section on how to install and use Azure CLI on Linux/macOS, including any prerequisites.
  • Consider removing PowerShell examples from the main flow and placing them in a separate 'Windows users' section, or clearly label them as Windows-specific.
  • Include troubleshooting or environment setup tips for Linux users, such as SSH key generation or bash usage.
