Summary
The documentation page for Azure Cloud Shell mentions both Bash and PowerShell as shell options, but references to Azure PowerShell and PowerShell cmdlets appear before Bash or Linux equivalents in several sections. The 'Multiple access points' and 'Authenticated and configured Azure workstation' sections list Azure PowerShell documentation and cmdlets before Azure CLI and Bash, suggesting a Windows-first and PowerShell-heavy bias. There are no explicit Bash or Linux command examples, and the integrated editor is described in the context of Azure CLI or PowerShell, not Bash.
Recommendations
  • Alternate the order of mentioning Azure CLI/Bash and Azure PowerShell to avoid Windows-first bias.
  • Provide explicit examples or references for Bash usage alongside PowerShell, including links to Bash documentation.
  • Highlight Linux tools and workflows equally, such as mentioning text editors (vim, nano) and Linux command-line utilities available in Cloud Shell.
  • Clarify that both Bash and PowerShell are fully supported and provide parity in features and documentation.
  • Add a section or examples showing typical Linux/Bash usage scenarios in Cloud Shell.
