Summary
The documentation page exhibits a moderate Windows bias. Azure PowerShell is featured prominently and consistently, with PowerShell examples always presented before Azure CLI equivalents. The use of PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) and the explicit mention of PowerShell-specific switches and output formats reinforce this bias. There are no Linux-specific shell examples (e.g., Bash), nor is there any mention of Linux-specific tooling or considerations. The CLI examples are generic and do not address platform-specific nuances, such as shell quoting or environment setup differences. The documentation assumes familiarity with PowerShell patterns and terminology, which may disadvantage Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Provide Bash-specific examples alongside PowerShell and Azure CLI, especially for common Linux scenarios.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI commands are cross-platform and provide notes on shell differences (e.g., quoting, line continuation) between Windows (CMD/PowerShell) and Linux (Bash/zsh).
  • Avoid presenting PowerShell examples first; alternate the order or present CLI examples first to emphasize cross-platform parity.
  • Explicitly mention that Azure CLI is available and supported on Linux/macOS, and link to installation instructions for those platforms.
  • Where PowerShell output is shown, also show equivalent CLI output in JSON or other formats commonly used on Linux.
  • Add troubleshooting or environment setup notes for Linux users, especially where file paths, permissions, or shell syntax may differ.
