Summary
The documentation page presents instructions for creating and publishing an Azure Managed Application using three methods: Azure PowerShell, Azure CLI, and Azure Portal. However, there is a subtle Windows bias: PowerShell examples and terminology are presented first in each section, and PowerShell-specific concepts (such as splatting) are explained in detail, while Bash/Linux equivalents are not. The CLI instructions do mention Bash and Git Bash, but do not provide parity in terms of shell scripting tips or explanations. Visual Studio Code is recommended as the editor, which is cross-platform, but the overall ordering and depth of PowerShell coverage may make Windows users feel more at home than Linux users.
Recommendations
- Alternate the order of PowerShell and CLI examples in each section, or present CLI examples first in some sections to balance the perceived priority.
- Provide Bash/Linux shell scripting tips and explanations (e.g., variable assignment, line continuation, quoting) similar to the PowerShell splatting explanation.
- Explicitly mention that all CLI commands work natively on Linux and macOS, and provide troubleshooting notes for common Linux-specific issues (e.g., file permissions, case sensitivity).
- Include a brief note or section highlighting Linux-specific considerations for Azure CLI usage, such as authentication methods, environment setup, and differences in shell behavior.
- Ensure that any tool or concept explained for PowerShell (like splatting) is matched with an equivalent explanation for Bash/Linux users (e.g., use of environment variables, command substitution).
