Summary
The documentation provides parallel instructions for Azure Portal, PowerShell, Azure CLI, ARM templates, and Terraform. However, PowerShell is given prominent placement and detailed examples, reflecting a Windows-centric approach. References to PowerShell Cloud Shell and installation instructions for the Azure PowerShell module further reinforce Windows bias. There is no explicit mention of Linux-specific shell environments (e.g., bash), nor are there examples using Linux-native tools or scripting patterns. While Azure CLI is included and is cross-platform, the documentation does not highlight Linux usage or parity, and PowerShell is often listed before CLI, suggesting a Windows-first mindset.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit bash shell examples for Linux users alongside PowerShell, especially for environment setup and scripting.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI commands work natively on Linux/macOS and provide guidance for installing CLI on those platforms.
  • Mention Linux-native tools (e.g., curl, jq) where relevant, and provide sample scripts for common Linux automation scenarios.
  • Balance the order of examples so that Azure CLI (cross-platform) is presented before PowerShell, or alternate their order.
  • Reference Linux Cloud Shell usage and provide links to Linux-specific documentation for Azure resource management.
  • Avoid assuming PowerShell as the default scripting environment; acknowledge and support bash/zsh and other shells.
