Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. PowerShell examples and instructions are given equal prominence to Azure CLI, but PowerShell is mentioned before CLI in prerequisites and throughout the document. Instructions for running Azure CLI locally mention Windows and macOS specifically, with Linux only implied. There is a strong focus on Azure PowerShell, a Windows-centric tool, and references to Windows patterns (e.g., Get-Credential) are present. However, CLI examples are provided for all steps, and Linux is the default OS for the VM example, which helps mitigate bias.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly mention Linux as a supported platform for Azure CLI in the prerequisites, and provide Linux-specific instructions where appropriate (e.g., SSH key handling, file paths).
  • Present CLI examples before PowerShell examples, or alternate their order, to avoid Windows-first perception.
  • Add notes or links for Linux users regarding installation and usage of Azure CLI and Cloud Shell.
  • Where PowerShell-specific patterns (like Get-Credential) are used, provide equivalent Linux/CLI guidance (e.g., using environment variables or files for credentials).
  • Ensure that all references to running commands locally include Linux as a first-class option, not just Windows/macOS.
  • Consider adding a short section or callout for Linux users, especially in areas where Windows tools or workflows are referenced.
