Summary
The documentation page for Azure Cloud Shell demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. PowerShell features and tools (such as the Azure drive and PowerShell cmdlets) are described in detail, with Windows-centric tools and modules (e.g., Exchange Online PowerShell, Microsoft Graph PowerShell, SqlServer PowerShell) listed prominently. Examples and instructions often reference PowerShell first or exclusively, with less emphasis on Bash/Linux equivalents. Some features, like the Azure drive, are only described for PowerShell, with no mention of similar navigation for Bash. There are also missing Linux/Bash examples for certain tasks, such as resource navigation and module listing.
Recommendations
  • Provide Bash/Linux equivalents for all PowerShell-specific features and examples, such as resource navigation and management.
  • List Bash/Linux commands before or alongside PowerShell commands to avoid Windows-first ordering.
  • Include Linux-native tools and workflows with equal prominence to Windows/PowerShell tools.
  • Add examples for managing Azure resources using Bash and Azure CLI, not just PowerShell cmdlets.
  • Clarify which features are exclusive to PowerShell and suggest Linux alternatives where possible.
  • Expand documentation on open source and Linux tools to match the detail given to PowerShell modules.
