Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for deploying ARM templates, but the PowerShell examples are prominent and detailed for all programming languages, reinforcing a Windows-centric approach. PowerShell is a Windows-native tool, and its inclusion as a primary method (alongside CLI) may signal a bias toward Windows users. There are no explicit Bash or Linux shell examples, nor is there mention of Linux-specific tooling or patterns. The use of Cloud Shell mitigates some bias, as it supports both Bash and PowerShell, but the documentation does not demonstrate Bash usage or clarify cross-platform equivalence.
Recommendations
  • Add Bash shell examples for all programming languages, using Azure CLI commands, to demonstrate Linux parity.
  • Explicitly mention that Azure CLI commands work identically on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and clarify that PowerShell is optional.
  • Reorder or balance the presentation so that Bash/Azure CLI examples appear before or alongside PowerShell examples, rather than after.
  • Include notes about cross-platform compatibility and recommend tools available on Linux (e.g., Bash, zsh) for deploying ARM templates.
  • Avoid implying PowerShell is the default or preferred method, especially for non-Windows users.
