Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI (bash) and PowerShell examples for every step, but PowerShell is given equal prominence as Azure CLI, which is atypical for Linux/macOS users. There are no explicit Linux/macOS-specific instructions, and PowerShell is not natively available on most Linux/macOS systems. Some environment variable handling and command syntax (e.g., use of `$VAR` vs. `$VAR=...`) may be confusing for non-Windows users. There are no examples for Linux-specific shell environments beyond bash, nor any mention of macOS.
Recommendations
  • Clearly state that Azure CLI examples are intended for bash on Linux/macOS and Windows, while PowerShell is primarily for Windows users.
  • List Azure CLI (bash) examples first, as this is the default on Linux/macOS.
  • Remove or de-emphasize PowerShell examples unless there is a specific Windows-only step.
  • Add explicit notes or sections for Linux/macOS users, including any OS-specific prerequisites or troubleshooting steps.
  • Ensure environment variable usage and command syntax are correct and clear for bash users (e.g., avoid mixing PowerShell variable assignment in bash sections).
  • Mention that PowerShell Core is available on Linux/macOS if PowerShell examples are retained, but clarify that bash is preferred.
