Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. PowerShell is given a dedicated section with extensive, step-by-step examples for every operation, often with more detailed context and variable usage than the Azure CLI equivalents. The PowerShell section is always listed before the Azure CLI section, and the prerequisites for PowerShell include instructions for local installation and module management, which are Windows-centric. There is no mention of Linux-specific shell usage (e.g., Bash), nor are there examples tailored for Linux users (such as using Bash scripts or Linux-native tools). The CLI examples are generic and do not clarify cross-platform usage, and the documentation does not address differences in experience between Windows and Linux environments.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Bash shell examples for Azure CLI usage, including variable assignment and command chaining, to demonstrate parity for Linux users.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI commands work identically on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and provide guidance for installing and using Azure CLI on Linux systems.
  • Balance the order of sections by alternating or randomizing the presentation of PowerShell and CLI examples, or by listing CLI before PowerShell in some cases.
  • Include notes or callouts for Linux/macOS users regarding environment setup, such as using Azure CLI in native shells or Cloud Shell.
  • Reduce the emphasis on PowerShell-specific prerequisites and provide equivalent detail for CLI usage on Linux.
  • Consider adding troubleshooting tips or environment-specific notes for Linux users, such as file permissions or shell differences.
