Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for all operations, which is good for cross-platform parity. However, there is a subtle Windows bias: PowerShell is featured equally alongside CLI, despite being primarily a Windows-centric tool (even though PowerShell Core is cross-platform, most users associate it with Windows). Visual Studio Code is recommended as the editor, which is cross-platform, but no mention is made of Linux-specific editors or shell environments. The documentation does not provide any Linux-specific guidance, troubleshooting, or notes, and PowerShell is listed as a prerequisite before Azure CLI, subtly prioritizing Windows tooling.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly mention that Azure CLI works natively on Linux/macOS and is recommended for those platforms.
  • Clarify that PowerShell Core is cross-platform, but most Linux/macOS users will prefer Azure CLI.
  • Add a note or section for Linux/macOS users, including common shell environments (bash/zsh) and editor alternatives (e.g., Vim, nano, etc.).
  • List Azure CLI before PowerShell in prerequisites to reflect its cross-platform nature.
  • Provide troubleshooting tips or links for Linux/macOS users (e.g., file permissions, path formats, installation guides).
