Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell instructions for deploying and validating resources. However, Azure PowerShell is a Windows-centric tool, and its inclusion alongside Azure CLI (which is cross-platform) may create a perception of Windows bias. The documentation gives equal prominence to Azure PowerShell as to Azure CLI, despite PowerShell being less commonly used on Linux/macOS. There are no Linux/macOS-specific instructions, nor is there mention of shell environments (e.g., Bash, zsh) or platform-specific considerations. The examples do not explicitly state that Azure CLI is recommended for Linux/macOS users, and PowerShell examples are shown for all language pivots, reinforcing the Windows bias.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly recommend Azure CLI for Linux/macOS users and clarify that Azure PowerShell is primarily for Windows environments.
  • Add notes or sections highlighting cross-platform compatibility, especially for CLI commands.
  • Consider removing or de-emphasizing Azure PowerShell instructions unless there is a clear use case for non-Windows platforms.
  • Add platform-specific notes or troubleshooting tips for Linux/macOS users.
  • Ensure that CLI examples are shown first, or at least clarify their cross-platform nature.
