Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a subtle Windows bias. While the main deployment examples use the Azure CLI (which is cross-platform), references to PowerShell and the Azure portal (both Windows-centric tools) are frequent and often listed before or alongside cross-platform alternatives. The phrase 'you can also use PowerShell, .NET, Ruby...' puts PowerShell first, and links to PowerShell deployment guides are provided before Linux-native equivalents. There are no Linux-specific shell examples (e.g., bash scripts), nor is there mention of Linux package managers or terminal environments. The documentation does not provide parity for Linux users in terms of examples or tool recommendations.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit bash shell examples for Linux users, especially for template deployment and resource cleanup.
  • Mention Linux-native environments (e.g., Ubuntu, bash) when discussing CLI usage.
  • When listing alternative deployment methods, avoid putting PowerShell first; list cross-platform options (CLI, REST API) before Windows-specific ones.
  • Provide links to Linux-specific documentation or guides for ARM template deployment.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI works on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and provide installation instructions for Linux.
  • Include screenshots or instructions for using the Azure portal from non-Windows platforms (e.g., Firefox on Ubuntu).
