Summary
The documentation provides full parity between Azure Portal, Azure CLI, PowerShell, and Terraform for creating a NAT Gateway. However, the PowerShell section is notably detailed and uses Windows-centric tooling (PowerShell), which is traditionally associated with Windows environments. The PowerShell tab appears before the CLI tab, and PowerShell-specific instructions (such as installing/updating Azure PowerShell) are given more prominence than equivalent Linux shell instructions. There is no explicit Linux shell example (e.g., Bash scripts outside of Azure CLI), and PowerShell is presented as a primary automation method, which may suggest a Windows bias.
Recommendations
  • Ensure CLI (az) examples are given equal or greater prominence than PowerShell, as CLI is cross-platform and native to Linux/macOS.
  • Add explicit Bash shell script examples for resource creation and cleanup, demonstrating usage outside of the Azure CLI tool.
  • Clarify that Azure PowerShell is available cross-platform and provide installation instructions for Linux/macOS alongside Windows.
  • Consider reordering tabs so that CLI or Portal appears before PowerShell, reducing the perception of Windows-first bias.
  • Where possible, reference Linux-native tools (e.g., Bash, SSH) in verification and troubleshooting steps, not just PowerShell.
  • Highlight that all steps can be performed on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and link to platform-specific setup guides.
