Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on PowerShell, with all examples and instructions using Azure PowerShell cmdlets. There are no CLI (az), Bash, or Linux/macOS-specific instructions or examples. The prerequisite step is to install Azure PowerShell, which is most commonly used on Windows, and no mention is made of cross-platform alternatives. This creates friction for Linux and macOS users who may prefer or require Bash or Azure CLI.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent Azure CLI (az) examples for all PowerShell scripts and tasks.
  • Explicitly mention that Azure PowerShell is cross-platform, but also provide Bash/CLI alternatives.
  • Reorder examples so that CLI and PowerShell are presented side-by-side, or at least alternate which is shown first.
  • Include installation instructions for Azure CLI and note its compatibility with Linux/macOS.
  • Add a section discussing tool choice for different platforms.
