Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. PowerShell examples are consistently presented before Azure CLI examples, and the documentation refers to Windows-specific tools and paths first. The local cache path for Windows is described in more detail, while the Linux and Mac paths are less specific. There are no Linux shell (bash) or scripting examples, and the documentation assumes the use of PowerShell or Azure CLI, which may be less familiar to Linux users. Additionally, credential acquisition defaults to Azure CLI or PowerShell, with no mention of Linux-native authentication methods.
Recommendations
  • Alternate the order of PowerShell and Azure CLI examples, or present Azure CLI (cross-platform) examples first to avoid Windows-first bias.
  • Include bash or shell script examples where appropriate, especially for common tasks like retrieving registry information or publishing modules.
  • Provide more detailed Linux and Mac path examples, matching the specificity given to Windows paths.
  • Mention Linux-native authentication methods or tools (such as managed identities, environment variables, or service principals configured via bash) when discussing credentials.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI is cross-platform and can be used on Linux, Mac, and Windows, to encourage parity.
  • Where possible, add notes or links for Linux users regarding package installation, file permissions, and other OS-specific considerations.
