Summary
The documentation provides examples for REST, Azure PowerShell, and Azure CLI when creating Azure subscriptions for EA accounts. PowerShell examples are given equal prominence to Azure CLI, and there are explicit instructions to use Azure Cloud Shell with PowerShell. There is a slight Windows bias in the ordering and emphasis: PowerShell examples are presented before Azure CLI, and the use of PowerShell-specific cmdlets and installation instructions (e.g., PowerShellGet) are included. There is no explicit mention of Linux or bash-specific instructions, nor are there examples using bash scripting or Linux-native tools. For MCA and MPA accounts, only REST API examples are provided, which are cross-platform, but the overall pattern in the EA section leans toward Windows/PowerShell usage.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit bash/Linux shell examples alongside Azure CLI commands, showing usage in typical Linux environments.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI is cross-platform and can be used on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
  • Reorder examples so that REST and Azure CLI are presented before PowerShell, or alternate the ordering to avoid implicit prioritization.
  • Include installation instructions for Azure CLI and PowerShell on Linux and macOS, not just Windows.
  • Mention that Azure Cloud Shell supports both bash and PowerShell, and provide equivalent bash instructions.
  • Where PowerShell-specific modules are referenced, provide analogous instructions for bash/CLI users.
