Summary
The documentation provides step-by-step instructions and code examples for Azure Portal, PowerShell, and Azure CLI. However, PowerShell is featured prominently and often before CLI, and all PowerShell examples assume a Windows environment. There are no explicit Linux/macOS shell (e.g., Bash) examples or notes on cross-platform differences, and the documentation does not mention or address potential issues Linux/macOS users might encounter with PowerShell commands. While Azure CLI is cross-platform, the documentation does not clarify this or provide Linux/macOS-specific guidance, which may cause friction for non-Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Clearly indicate that Azure CLI commands are cross-platform and suitable for Linux/macOS users.
  • Where PowerShell is used, add notes or links for installing and using PowerShell Core on Linux/macOS, or clarify if commands are Windows-only.
  • Present CLI examples before PowerShell to avoid implicit Windows-first bias.
  • Add explicit Bash shell examples or at least validate that CLI commands work as shown in Linux/macOS terminals.
  • Include troubleshooting notes for common cross-platform issues (e.g., differences in quoting, environment variables, or authentication).
