Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for deploying ARM templates. While Azure CLI is cross-platform, the PowerShell examples are inherently Windows-centric, and PowerShell is presented as a primary alternative to CLI. There are no Bash, Linux shell, or macOS-specific instructions, nor is there mention of Linux-native tooling or patterns. The structure presents PowerShell as an equal alternative to CLI, which may suggest Windows bias, especially since PowerShell is less commonly used on Linux/macOS. The Cloud Shell reference helps mitigate this somewhat, as it is cross-platform, but the lack of explicit Linux/macOS shell examples is notable.
Recommendations
  • Add Bash or Linux shell script examples for ARM template deployment using Azure CLI.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI commands work natively on Linux/macOS terminals, and provide explicit instructions for those environments.
  • Mention that PowerShell Core is available on Linux/macOS, or clarify any differences if relevant.
  • Consider reordering or labeling examples to avoid implying PowerShell is the default or preferred method for all users.
  • Include notes or links to Linux/macOS setup guides for Azure CLI and PowerShell Core.
