Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by consistently listing Windows-centric tools (PowerShell, ARM templates via Azure PowerShell, and references to Windows installation paths) before or alongside cross-platform alternatives. PowerShell is given a dedicated section with detailed instructions, while Linux-specific considerations (such as Bash, shell scripting, or Linux package managers) are absent. Installation links and examples often default to Windows or do not clarify Linux parity, and there are no explicit Linux or macOS examples or troubleshooting notes.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Linux/macOS installation instructions and links for all tools (Terraform, Azure CLI, Bicep, PowerShell).
  • Provide Bash or shell script examples alongside PowerShell, especially for pipeline automation.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI and Terraform are cross-platform, and include Linux-specific usage notes (e.g., package manager commands, file paths).
  • Include troubleshooting or environment setup notes for Linux/macOS users (e.g., permissions, path differences).
  • Balance the order of examples so that cross-platform or Linux-native tools (Azure CLI, Bash) are not listed after Windows-centric tools.
  • Add references to Linux package managers (apt, yum, Homebrew) for installing CLI tools.
