Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and PowerShell examples for all major operations. However, in the PowerShell sections, it recommends and exclusively uses ARMClient, a Windows-centric executable, for REST operations. There is no mention of Linux/macOS alternatives for PowerShell users, nor is there guidance for using PowerShell on non-Windows platforms for these tasks. This creates friction for Linux/macOS users who may prefer PowerShell or need a cross-platform REST tool.
Recommendations
- Explicitly mention that Azure PowerShell and PowerShell 7+ are cross-platform, and clarify which commands work on Linux/macOS.
- For REST operations in PowerShell, suggest cross-platform alternatives to ARMClient, such as Invoke-RestMethod or curl, and provide example commands.
- Add a note or section for Linux/macOS users who use PowerShell, detailing installation and usage differences, if any.
- Where ARMClient is referenced, clarify its platform limitations and provide equivalent instructions for Linux/macOS users.
