Summary
The documentation consistently lists PowerShell as the first automation method in all tables, and provides PowerShell examples for every operation, regardless of whether the workload is cross-platform or Linux-specific (e.g., SAP HANA). This prioritization of PowerShell, a Windows-centric tool, and the lack of explicit mention of Linux-native scripting (such as Bash) or Linux-specific nuances, demonstrates a Windows-first and PowerShell-heavy bias. The documentation also refers to 'PowerShell' as a primary automation tool, which is more familiar to Windows users, even though Azure CLI is cross-platform and often preferred on Linux.
Recommendations
  • Alternate the order of automation methods in tables, sometimes listing Azure CLI before PowerShell, especially for Linux-centric workloads (e.g., SAP HANA, PostgreSQL).
  • Explicitly mention that Azure CLI commands and examples are cross-platform and can be used on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
  • Where possible, provide Bash script examples or reference Bash usage for Linux administrators, not just PowerShell.
  • Add a note or section clarifying the cross-platform nature of Azure CLI and REST API, and highlight any Linux-specific considerations or best practices.
  • For workloads that are primarily Linux-based (e.g., SAP HANA), consider omitting PowerShell where not supported and emphasizing CLI or REST API.
  • Ensure that documentation for automation tasks does not assume familiarity with PowerShell, and provide parity in guidance for Linux users.
