Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Several command examples use PowerShell scripting syntax (e.g., variable assignment with $var and command chaining), which is native to Windows environments and less common on Linux/macOS. The backup instructions reference the Azure portal's Automation section, which often generates PowerShell scripts alongside Bash scripts, but PowerShell is mentioned first. In identity setup and role assignment, PowerShell-style commands are provided, and Linux alternatives (pure Bash) are not shown. There is no explicit mention of Linux-specific tools or shell environments beyond Azure Cloud Shell, which is cross-platform but defaults to Bash unless switched. The documentation does not provide Linux-first or Linux-only examples for scripting, nor does it clarify how to adapt PowerShell commands for Bash users.
Recommendations
  • Provide Bash-only equivalents for all PowerShell command examples, especially for variable assignment and command chaining.
  • When presenting command-line examples, default to Bash syntax or present Bash first, as it is the default shell in most Linux environments.
  • Clarify when PowerShell is required and offer guidance for users on Linux/macOS who may not have PowerShell installed.
  • Ensure that all downloadable scripts (from the Azure portal or elsewhere) include both Bash and PowerShell versions, and reference them equally.
  • Explicitly mention that Azure Cloud Shell supports both Bash and PowerShell, and show how to switch between them if needed.
  • Audit all scripting examples to ensure Linux users can follow along without needing to install or use PowerShell.
