Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias: PowerShell is featured as a primary automation example alongside the Azure portal and CLI, with detailed step-by-step instructions and code samples. PowerShell is a Windows-centric tool, and its inclusion (and prominence) may disadvantage Linux users, who typically use Bash or other shells. The prerequisites and instructions reference PowerShell-specific setup and commands before CLI equivalents, and there is no mention of Bash, Linux shell, or cross-platform scripting alternatives. The CLI examples are present and useful for Linux users, but the overall structure and language favor Windows/PowerShell users.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Bash examples for each CLI scenario, showing how commands would be run in a Linux shell (including environment setup, authentication, and variable usage).
  • Clarify that Azure CLI is cross-platform and can be used on Windows, Linux, and macOS, and provide links or notes for installing CLI on Linux systems.
  • Balance the order of examples: alternate or randomize the order of PowerShell and CLI sections, or lead with CLI in some cases to avoid Windows-first impression.
  • Include a short section in prerequisites for Linux users, e.g., how to install Azure CLI on Ubuntu, authentication steps, and any Linux-specific considerations.
  • Avoid language that implies PowerShell is the default or preferred automation tool; explicitly state that both CLI and PowerShell are supported and cross-platform users should choose based on their environment.
