Summary
The documentation page exhibits a moderate Windows bias. PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) is featured prominently and with extensive example coverage, often before Azure CLI. The prerequisites and example sections for PowerShell are more detailed than those for CLI, including module installation, version checks, and authentication steps. There is no mention of Linux-specific shell environments (e.g., bash) or native Linux tools, and the CLI examples are generic, not tailored to Linux workflows. The documentation assumes familiarity with PowerShell and Windows patterns, and does not provide parity for Linux users beyond the basic Azure CLI commands.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Linux shell (bash/zsh) examples and instructions, especially for Azure CLI usage, including environment setup and authentication steps.
  • Balance the depth of prerequisites and troubleshooting guidance between PowerShell and CLI sections, ensuring Linux users are equally supported.
  • Mention and link to Azure CLI installation and usage on Linux, including package manager commands (apt, yum, etc.), not just generic CLI requirements.
  • Where PowerShell-specific troubleshooting or module management is discussed, provide equivalent guidance for CLI on Linux (e.g., updating CLI, managing credentials).
  • Consider reordering sections so that platform-neutral or Linux-friendly tools (Azure CLI, Bicep) are presented before PowerShell, or at least in parallel.
  • Explicitly state that Azure CLI commands are cross-platform and provide notes or tips for Linux users (e.g., differences in quoting, environment variables).
