Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and PowerShell examples for configuring dead-letter and retry policies in Azure Event Grid. However, PowerShell is a Windows-centric tool, and its inclusion alongside Azure CLI (which is cross-platform) can signal a Windows bias. There are explicit references to installing Azure PowerShell, but no mention of Linux-specific shell usage (e.g., Bash), nor are there examples using Bash or other Linux-native tools. The documentation does not clarify that Azure CLI commands work natively on Linux/macOS, and the order of examples sometimes places PowerShell before CLI, reinforcing a Windows-first approach. No Linux-specific troubleshooting, shell scripting, or environment notes are provided.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Bash shell examples alongside Azure CLI, demonstrating usage in Linux environments.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI works natively on Linux/macOS and provide installation instructions for those platforms.
  • Include troubleshooting notes or tips for Linux users (e.g., permissions, environment variables).
  • Where PowerShell is mentioned, note that PowerShell Core is cross-platform, but provide Bash alternatives for Linux users.
  • Ensure that Azure CLI examples are presented before PowerShell, or at least equally, to avoid Windows-first impression.
  • Reference Linux tools or scripting patterns where relevant (e.g., using jq for JSON parsing, environment variable conventions).
