Summary
The documentation exclusively uses PowerShell and the armclient tool for all REST API examples, with no mention of Linux/macOS alternatives or cross-platform usage. All code samples are tagged as 'azurepowershell-interactive', and there is no guidance for Linux users on how to perform the same tasks. This creates friction for non-Windows users and may prevent them from following the instructions easily.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent examples using curl or httpie, which are available by default on Linux and macOS.
- Clarify whether armclient is cross-platform, and if not, suggest alternatives for Linux/macOS users.
- Add explicit instructions or code samples for Linux/macOS environments, including authentication and API invocation steps.
- Reorder examples so that cross-platform tools (e.g., REST API via curl) are shown first or alongside PowerShell/armclient.
