Summary
The documentation page exhibits a notable Windows bias, especially in its command-line examples and instructions. Azure CLI usage is repeatedly demonstrated in Windows PowerShell terminals, with explicit references to 'PS C:\Windows>' and instructions to open Windows PowerShell. Installation instructions for Azure CLI and PowerShell modules prioritize Windows-specific methods (MSI installer, Windows PowerShell). There is little to no mention of Linux/macOS terminals, shells, or installation patterns, and no CLI examples are shown in Bash or native Linux/macOS environments. The documentation assumes a Windows context throughout, which may create friction for Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations
  • Provide Azure CLI examples using Bash or native Linux/macOS terminals (e.g., $ az login) alongside PowerShell examples.
  • Include installation instructions for Azure CLI and PowerShell modules for Linux and macOS (e.g., apt, yum, Homebrew).
  • Avoid using Windows-specific prompts (PS C:\Windows>) as the default; show generic or platform-appropriate prompts.
  • Explicitly state that Azure CLI and PowerShell modules are cross-platform, and link to platform-specific installation guides.
  • Balance example output and screenshots to include Linux/macOS environments where appropriate.
