Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. PowerShell is presented as the first and primary example for building Bicep files, with Azure CLI as a secondary option. There are no explicit Linux/macOS instructions or screenshots, and the workflow assumes familiarity with Windows-centric tools (e.g., Visual Studio Code, PowerShell). The portal instructions and screenshots do not address cross-platform differences, and there is no mention of Linux-specific considerations or alternative editors.
Recommendations
  • Present Azure CLI examples before or alongside PowerShell, as CLI is cross-platform.
  • Explicitly mention that all CLI commands work on Linux/macOS and Windows, and provide any OS-specific notes if needed.
  • Include screenshots or instructions for Linux/macOS environments where UI or tool behavior may differ.
  • Suggest alternative editors (e.g., VS Code is cross-platform, but mention alternatives like Vim, nano, etc. for Linux users).
  • Add a section or callout for Linux/macOS users, confirming parity and noting any differences in setup or workflow.
  • Avoid language that implies Windows is the default platform (e.g., avoid 'open PowerShell' as the only shell option).
