Summary
The documentation is primarily focused on Azure CLI usage, which is cross-platform, but several sections introduce Windows bias. Notably, PowerShell objects and file path conventions (e.g., .\file.json) are used in examples and explanations before or instead of Linux/macOS equivalents. The documentation references PowerShell objects as defaults and uses Windows-style file paths in CLI commands, with little to no explicit guidance for Linux/macOS users. There are also references to Azure PowerShell as an alternative, but not to Linux-native tools or shell scripting, and the file manipulation workflow is described in a way that assumes a Windows environment.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux/macOS shell (bash) examples alongside or before Windows/PowerShell examples, especially for file path usage and file manipulation.
  • Use platform-neutral file paths in CLI examples (e.g., ./file.json instead of .\file.json), or show both Windows and Linux/macOS variants.
  • Clarify when PowerShell objects or workflows are being referenced, and provide alternative instructions for Linux/macOS users.
  • Explicitly state that the Azure CLI is cross-platform and note any platform-specific considerations.
  • Where PowerShell is referenced as a default (e.g., 'The default PowerShell object...'), also describe the equivalent for CLI/JSON workflows.
