Bias Analysis

missing_linux_example
Summary
The documentation provides both Azure PowerShell and Azure CLI examples for most operations, but PowerShell is consistently presented first and in greater detail, reflecting a Windows-centric approach. Some advanced tasks, such as record set level resource locks, are only possible via Azure PowerShell, with no Azure CLI or Linux/macOS alternative. There is no mention of Linux-specific tools or shell scripting, and the use of PowerShell as the primary automation language may create friction for Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations
  • Present Azure CLI examples before or alongside PowerShell examples to avoid Windows-first bias.
  • Clearly indicate which operations are not supported in Azure CLI and provide suggested workarounds or alternatives for Linux/macOS users.
  • Add notes or links for Linux/macOS users on how to install and use Azure CLI and PowerShell Core cross-platform.
  • Where PowerShell is required, clarify that PowerShell Core is available for Linux/macOS and provide installation guidance.
  • Advocate for parity in Azure CLI functionality, especially for resource lock operations currently limited to PowerShell.
