Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. It references Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, Azure CLI, and commands like az account list-locations) and includes PowerShell as a primary code sample. The instructions for obtaining Azure region names specifically mention using the Azure CLI, which is more commonly used on Windows, and do not provide Linux alternatives or mention cross-platform usage. The code sample tabs list PowerShell and CLI before Linux-native shells or tools, and there is no explicit mention of Linux-specific setup or parity in the development environment instructions.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly mention that Azure CLI is cross-platform and provide Linux/macOS installation instructions or links.
  • Include Bash or shell script examples alongside PowerShell, especially for common tasks like querying Azure regions.
  • Clarify that all SDKs and samples work on Linux and macOS, and provide guidance for setting up development environments on those platforms.
  • Add notes or sections for Linux users, such as using curl for HTTP requests, and troubleshooting common Linux-specific issues.
  • Ensure that sample code and instructions do not assume a Windows environment (e.g., file paths, environment variables, authentication flows).
