Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. PowerShell is featured as a primary automation example alongside the Azure portal and CLI, with detailed step-by-step instructions and code snippets. PowerShell is a Windows-centric tool, and its inclusion as a main option (alongside the portal and CLI) implicitly prioritizes Windows users. There is no mention of Bash, Linux shell scripting, or Linux-specific tooling, and the CLI examples are generic, not tailored to Linux environments. The prerequisites and instructions for PowerShell are more detailed than for CLI, and there is no discussion of Linux-specific considerations or parity.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Bash or Linux shell examples for managing NAT rules with Azure CLI, including guidance for common Linux distributions.
  • Include notes or sections on Linux-specific prerequisites, such as installing Azure CLI on Ubuntu, CentOS, etc.
  • Balance the depth of PowerShell instructions with equivalent detail for CLI usage on Linux, including environment setup and troubleshooting.
  • Consider mentioning cross-platform scripting approaches (e.g., Bash, Python) for automation, not just PowerShell.
  • Clarify that PowerShell Core is available on Linux and macOS, if PowerShell is to be included, and provide installation instructions for those platforms.
  • Review and update terminology to avoid implying Windows as the default platform (e.g., avoid 'If you're running PowerShell locally...' without mentioning Linux alternatives).
