Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. PowerShell is consistently presented as a primary automation method, often before Azure CLI, and detailed PowerShell examples are provided for key tasks. References to Windows-specific tools (PowerShell) are prevalent, and instructions for deploying Bicep and ARM templates use PowerShell as the first example. While Azure CLI examples are present and Cloud Shell is mentioned (which supports Bash), there is little explicit mention of Linux-specific environments, shells, or considerations. The documentation does not reference Linux package managers, shell environments (e.g., bash, zsh), or alternative scripting approaches, and does not clarify cross-platform differences in command usage or installation.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly mention Linux environments and shells (e.g., bash, zsh) in prerequisites and usage instructions.
  • Provide installation instructions for Azure CLI and Developer CLI using Linux package managers (apt, yum, etc.), not just generic links.
  • When presenting examples for deploying Bicep or ARM templates, alternate the order of PowerShell and CLI examples, or present CLI first to avoid Windows-first perception.
  • Clarify that all CLI examples work natively on Linux/macOS, and note any differences in command syntax or environment setup.
  • Include troubleshooting or tips for common Linux-specific issues (e.g., file permissions, environment variables).
  • Reference Linux tools or scripting approaches where relevant, and avoid assuming PowerShell is the default automation tool.
