Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for policy creation and assignment, but PowerShell is given equal or slightly greater prominence (dedicated sections, parameter explanations, and example variable usage). There are no Linux-specific shell examples (e.g., Bash scripts), and the use of PowerShell may implicitly favor Windows users, as PowerShell is natively available on Windows and only optionally installed on Linux. The documentation does not mention Linux-specific tools, nor does it clarify cross-platform usage for PowerShell or CLI commands.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly state that both Azure CLI and PowerShell are cross-platform, and provide guidance for installing and using PowerShell on Linux if needed.
  • Add Bash shell script examples for policy creation and assignment using Azure CLI to demonstrate Linux parity.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI commands can be run from any OS, and provide instructions for installing Azure CLI on Linux.
  • Avoid using variable assignment and resource retrieval examples that are PowerShell-specific unless a Linux shell equivalent is also provided.
  • Consider adding a section or note about platform compatibility for all command-line tools mentioned.
