Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by presenting Azure PowerShell examples before Azure CLI examples, referencing PowerShell-specific commands and patterns, and using terminology and tooling most familiar to Windows users. The Azure portal instructions are also Windows-centric, as the portal is most commonly accessed from Windows environments. There is no mention of Linux-specific tools, shell environments, or alternative workflows that might be more familiar to Linux users. While Azure CLI is cross-platform, its examples are secondary to PowerShell, and there are no explicit Bash or Linux shell script examples.
Recommendations
  • Present Azure CLI examples before PowerShell examples, as CLI is cross-platform and preferred by many Linux users.
  • Explicitly mention that Azure CLI commands work on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and provide Bash script examples where appropriate.
  • Include instructions or references for using the Azure portal from Linux and macOS environments, such as browser compatibility or CLI-based alternatives.
  • Avoid Windows-centric terminology (e.g., 'PowerShell script') as the default; use 'script' or 'command' unless the example is truly Windows-only.
  • Add troubleshooting and FAQ sections that address common issues for Linux users, such as DNS resolution or network configuration differences.
  • Where possible, provide parity in examples and workflows for both Windows and Linux users, ensuring neither is prioritized over the other.
