Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for all operations, but PowerShell is featured prominently throughout, and is listed as a prerequisite alongside Azure CLI. Visual Studio Code is recommended as the editor, which is cross-platform, but the PowerShell examples and terminology may be more familiar to Windows users. There is no explicit mention of Linux-specific shell usage (e.g., Bash), nor are there any examples showing Linux-specific command patterns, environment setup, or troubleshooting. The documentation assumes parity between CLI and PowerShell, but the presence and order of PowerShell examples, and the lack of Linux shell context, indicate a mild Windows bias.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Bash shell examples for key CLI commands, showing usage in a typical Linux terminal.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI commands work identically on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and mention any OS-specific considerations.
  • Include Linux-specific setup instructions (e.g., using apt-get/yum for Azure CLI installation, or referencing ~/.azure for configuration).
  • Balance the order of examples so that CLI/Bash is presented first, or alternate the order to avoid implicit prioritization of Windows/PowerShell.
  • Mention alternative editors (such as Vim, nano, or Sublime Text) for users who may not use Visual Studio Code.
  • Add troubleshooting tips for common Linux issues (e.g., file permissions, environment variables) when running Azure CLI or Bicep.
