Summary
The documentation consistently uses Azure CLI (az) and jq in shell script examples for REST API calls, which are cross-platform but are most commonly used and supported on Windows and Linux. However, there is a subtle Windows bias in the environment preparation and example sections: the instructions and examples assume the use of Azure CLI (az), which is pre-installed and best supported on Windows and Azure Cloud Shell, and does not mention Linux/macOS-specific considerations (such as package installation, authentication differences, or alternative tools). There are no explicit Linux/macOS examples, nor are there any notes about platform-specific differences. The documentation also references Windows-centric concepts like AvSet (Availability Set), which is an Azure construct but often associated with Windows VM deployments. No Linux-specific commands, troubleshooting, or alternative patterns are provided.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit notes or instructions for Linux/macOS users, such as how to install Azure CLI and jq, and any authentication differences.
  • Provide example commands for Linux/macOS shells (e.g., bash/zsh) and clarify that all examples work cross-platform.
  • Mention alternative tools for REST API calls, such as httpie or native curl usage without Azure CLI, and clarify authentication steps for non-Windows platforms.
  • Include troubleshooting tips for Linux/macOS environments, such as dealing with permissions or network configuration.
  • Clarify that AvSet and other Azure constructs are platform-agnostic, and provide links to Linux VM deployment guides if relevant.
