Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for all queries, but PowerShell examples are consistently presented alongside CLI, and sometimes with additional explanation. Several examples and notes reference PowerShell-specific behaviors (e.g., ConvertTo-Json, variable handling), and the sample JSON data is Windows-centric (Windows OS, WindowsServer image). For CLI examples, Linux-specific shell usage is implied (awk, sed, tail), but there is no explicit mention of Linux, nor are Bash or other Linux shell alternatives discussed. There are no examples using Linux-native tools or scripting patterns outside of Azure CLI, and the documentation does not clarify cross-platform differences or parity.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly state that Azure CLI examples are cross-platform and show how they work in both Windows CMD/PowerShell and Linux Bash environments.
  • Add Linux/Bash-specific notes or examples, especially for file handling and command chaining (e.g., using xargs, grep, or alternative to awk/sed/tail for Windows users).
  • Balance sample data to include both Windows and Linux VM images (e.g., show an example with Ubuntu or CentOS).
  • Clarify any differences in output formatting or scripting between PowerShell and Bash, especially for JSON handling.
  • Consider adding a section on troubleshooting or adapting queries for Linux users, including common shell pitfalls.
