Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI (Bash) and PowerShell examples for deploying and listing resources, but PowerShell examples are shown alongside CLI rather than after, and the initial instructions for opening and editing files are tailored to Visual Studio Code, which is cross-platform but often associated with Windows workflows. There are no explicit Linux/macOS-specific instructions or alternative editors mentioned, and the file upload process references the Azure portal, which is platform-neutral. However, the documentation does not mention Linux-specific tools or patterns, and PowerShell is given equal prominence to Bash/CLI, which may create friction for Linux/macOS users unfamiliar with PowerShell.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly mention that Visual Studio Code is available on Linux/macOS and suggest alternative editors (e.g., Vim, nano) for users who prefer them.
  • Provide Linux/macOS-specific instructions for file management (e.g., using wget/curl to download the template, using nano/vim to edit).
  • Ensure CLI (Bash) examples are shown before PowerShell, or clarify that both are supported equally.
  • Add notes about how to use the Azure CLI outside of Cloud Shell, especially for Linux/macOS users.
  • Reference Linux/macOS terminal commands for file verification and manipulation.
