Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation shows a subtle Windows bias. The Azure PowerShell section is presented before Azure CLI, and PowerShell is traditionally associated with Windows environments. The documentation references the 'Windows Azure Service Management API' in an important note, and there is no mention of Linux-specific tools or shell environments (e.g., Bash, zsh) in the examples or instructions. All command-line examples use either PowerShell, Azure CLI, or Python SDK, but there are no explicit Linux shell or scripting examples, nor is there any mention of Linux-specific considerations. The Azure portal instructions are platform-neutral, but the ordering and terminology favor Windows.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Bash or Linux shell examples for Azure CLI commands, showing usage in Linux environments.
  • Include notes or sections on using Azure CLI and Python SDK in Linux/macOS terminals, highlighting any differences or prerequisites.
  • Reorder the command-line sections to present Azure CLI before Azure PowerShell, as CLI is cross-platform and more common in Linux environments.
  • Avoid references to 'Windows Azure Service Management API' unless necessary, or provide context for non-Windows users.
  • Where possible, mention that all command-line tools (CLI, Python SDK) are cross-platform and provide installation links for Linux/macOS.
  • Consider adding a table comparing PowerShell and Bash usage for common Azure resource provider operations.
