Summary
The documentation provides parity between Azure PowerShell and Azure CLI for most tasks, but PowerShell examples and instructions are consistently listed before CLI equivalents, and PowerShell is referenced as a primary deployment tool for Bicep and ARM templates. There is a slight preference for Windows-centric tools and patterns (PowerShell, PowerShellGet), and some instructions (e.g., module installation) assume familiarity with Windows/PowerShell environments. However, Azure CLI and Cloud Shell (Bash) are also well-supported, and Linux/macOS users can complete all tasks.
Recommendations
  • Alternate the order of PowerShell and CLI examples, or present CLI first in some sections to reduce Windows-first perception.
  • Explicitly mention Linux/macOS compatibility for CLI and Cloud Shell, and clarify that PowerShell Core is cross-platform.
  • Add brief notes or links for installing PowerShell on Linux/macOS when referencing PowerShell modules.
  • Where PowerShell is referenced as the default deployment tool (e.g., for Bicep/Template), clarify CLI is equally supported and show CLI first or side-by-side.
  • In sections about installing tools (e.g., PowerShellGet), provide equivalent Linux/macOS instructions or links.
