Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI (Linux-friendly) and Azure PowerShell (Windows-centric) examples for deployment scripts in Bicep. However, PowerShell examples and usage patterns are given equal or greater prominence, and Windows/PowerShell deployment steps (such as script deployment and REST API usage) are shown first or exclusively in several places. The deployment steps for Bicep scripts use Azure PowerShell commands only, with no equivalent Azure CLI or Bash example for Linux/macOS users. There is also a lack of explicit Linux/macOS shell examples for deploying Bicep files, and troubleshooting/monitoring sections favor PowerShell and Windows-centric tools.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Azure CLI and Bash examples for deploying Bicep files, not just PowerShell.
  • Ensure that CLI and Bash examples are presented before or alongside PowerShell examples to avoid Windows-first ordering.
  • Include Linux/macOS-specific instructions for script development, deployment, and troubleshooting.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI and Bash can be used on all platforms, and provide parity in example coverage.
  • Where REST API usage is shown with PowerShell, also show equivalent curl or HTTPie examples.
