Summary
The documentation page exhibits moderate Windows bias, particularly in the CLI section for cloud-based solutions, where PowerShell examples and links are presented before Azure CLI equivalents. PowerShell is a Windows-centric tool, and its prominence may create friction for Linux/macOS users. Additionally, references to 'PowerShell functions for IoT Edge for Linux on Windows' reinforce a Windows-first perspective. However, Azure CLI examples are also provided, and most management options (ARM templates, Bicep, Azure portal) are cross-platform, mitigating the overall impact.
Recommendations
  • Present Azure CLI examples before PowerShell in all sections, as CLI is cross-platform.
  • Explicitly state platform compatibility for each tool (e.g., Azure CLI works on Windows, Linux, and macOS; PowerShell Core is cross-platform but Windows PowerShell is not).
  • Add Bash or shell script examples where automation is discussed, especially for Linux users.
  • Avoid referencing Windows-specific tools (e.g., 'PowerShell functions for IoT Edge for Linux on Windows') without Linux-native alternatives or clarifications.
  • Ensure that all critical workflows have CLI or ARM template examples, not just PowerShell.
