Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. PowerShell instructions are presented prominently and assume a Windows environment ("Open a Windows PowerShell command window"), with no mention of Linux/macOS alternatives for scripting. The Azure CLI section references opening a console such as Windows PowerShell before mentioning Cloud Shell, and does not clarify Linux/macOS terminal usage. There are no Bash or Linux/macOS-specific examples, and Windows tools/patterns are referenced first or exclusively in several places.
Recommendations
  • Clarify that Azure CLI commands can be run from Bash, Linux, and macOS terminals, not just Windows PowerShell.
  • Provide explicit instructions and examples for running PowerShell commands on Linux/macOS using PowerShell Core, or note any limitations.
  • Include Bash shell examples for common tasks, especially for validation and migration steps.
  • Reorder examples so that cross-platform tools (Azure CLI, Portal) are presented before Windows-specific tools (PowerShell).
  • Avoid language that assumes a Windows environment (e.g., 'Open a Windows PowerShell command window'); use 'Open a terminal' or specify platform options.
