Summary
The documentation consistently provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for each query, but PowerShell examples are always present and sometimes accompanied by detailed PowerShell-specific notes (e.g., ConvertTo-Json depth). The PowerShell examples and notes are given equal prominence to CLI, and the JSON output examples use Windows-centric values (e.g., WindowsServer, osType: Windows). There is a slight Windows-first bias in example ordering and tooling, but Linux users can complete all tasks using Azure CLI. Shell scripting examples for Azure CLI use standard Unix tools (awk, sed, tail, cat), which are Linux/macOS-friendly.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly mention that Azure CLI commands work on Linux/macOS and Windows, and clarify any platform-specific differences if present.
  • Add notes or examples for macOS/Linux users where file handling or scripting differs (e.g., alternative commands for Windows CMD/PowerShell if needed).
  • Consider alternating the order of Azure CLI and PowerShell examples, or grouping them under platform headings to avoid implicit prioritization.
  • Provide example output for Linux-based virtual machines in addition to Windows-based ones to show parity.
  • Clarify that PowerShell examples are for users who prefer PowerShell, not just Windows users.
