Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by frequently referencing Windows-specific tools (PowerShell), mentioning Windows PowerShell as a default console for Azure CLI, and listing PowerShell instructions before Azure CLI equivalents. There is an implicit prioritization of Windows workflows and terminology, with no explicit mention of Linux shells or cross-platform alternatives in introductory or instructional text. While Azure CLI examples are provided (which are cross-platform), the narrative and instructions often assume a Windows environment.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly mention that Azure CLI commands work on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and provide example shell environments (e.g., bash, zsh) alongside PowerShell.
  • Avoid referring to 'Windows PowerShell' as the default console for CLI; instead, suggest 'your preferred command-line shell (e.g., bash, PowerShell, zsh)'.
  • Where PowerShell is referenced, add equivalent instructions for bash or other popular Linux shells, especially for authentication and context setup.
  • Add notes or sections highlighting Linux/macOS usage, including installation and environment setup for Azure CLI and PowerShell.
  • Ensure that CLI examples use syntax compatible with both Windows and Linux shells (e.g., avoid backslashes for line continuation, or provide both styles).
