Summary
The documentation page exhibits mild Windows bias in several areas: Windows and PowerShell configuration options are listed alongside Linux/Bash, but Windows-specific options (including PowerShell) are mentioned before Linux equivalents in the prerequisites. There is also a focus on Windows tooling (Visual Studio Code extension) without mentioning Linux-specific editor alternatives. However, the main Terraform examples are provided for both Linux and Windows containers, and implementation steps use Bash commands, which are cross-platform.
Recommendations
  • List Linux/Bash options before Windows/PowerShell options in the prerequisites to avoid implicit prioritization.
  • Include explicit instructions or links for configuring Terraform on Linux/macOS outside of Azure Cloud Shell.
  • Mention alternative editors for Linux users (e.g., Vim, Emacs, JetBrains IDEs) or clarify that VS Code is cross-platform.
  • Ensure that all command-line examples are explicitly marked as cross-platform or provide platform-specific notes where necessary.
  • Add a note clarifying that PowerShell is available on Linux/macOS, or provide Bash equivalents for any PowerShell-specific instructions.
