Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI (Bash) and Azure PowerShell examples throughout, but there is a noticeable Windows bias. PowerShell examples and references (including Connect-AzAccount, Start-Sleep, and .ps1 scripts) are given equal or greater prominence than Bash/CLI examples. Windows-centric tools and APIs (such as CommandLineToArgvW) are referenced without Linux equivalents. PowerShell-specific patterns and troubleshooting steps (like $ErrorActionPreference and Start-Sleep) are described in detail, while Linux/Bash equivalents (e.g., set -e, sleep) are mentioned but not explained as thoroughly. The documentation does not reference Linux-native scripting tools or patterns beyond basic Bash usage, and Windows/PowerShell terminology is used in places where cross-platform alternatives could be highlighted.
Recommendations
  • Ensure that Bash/CLI examples and explanations are given equal prominence and detail as PowerShell examples.
  • When referencing Windows-specific APIs or tools (e.g., CommandLineToArgvW), provide Linux equivalents or clarify platform differences.
  • Expand troubleshooting and scripting best practices for Bash (e.g., error handling with set -e, trap, exit codes), similar to the PowerShell guidance.
  • Include references to Linux-native scripting tools and patterns (e.g., sed, awk, grep) where appropriate.
  • Avoid using Windows/PowerShell terminology as the default; use neutral or cross-platform language where possible.
  • Explicitly state platform compatibility for all examples and scripts, and provide guidance for running scripts on Linux/macOS as well as Windows.
