Summary
The documentation provides examples for REST, Azure CLI, and Azure PowerShell for all major steps. However, PowerShell is referenced in every section, even when it is not supported for certain operations (with explicit notes to use CLI or REST instead). PowerShell is given equal or greater prominence than Azure CLI, and installation instructions for PowerShell modules are included, which may be less relevant for Linux/macOS users. There are no explicit Linux/macOS shell examples (e.g., Bash), and no mention of platform-specific considerations for CLI usage. The documentation does not reference Windows-only tools directly, but the repeated PowerShell focus and lack of Linux/macOS context creates a mild Windows bias.
Recommendations
  • Remove PowerShell tabs/examples for steps where PowerShell is not supported, rather than including a placeholder.
  • Add explicit Bash or shell script examples for Azure CLI usage to demonstrate Linux/macOS parity.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI works cross-platform and provide any platform-specific installation or usage notes.
  • Reorder examples so that Azure CLI is shown before PowerShell, or alternate the order to avoid Windows-first perception.
  • Include notes or links for Linux/macOS users regarding installation of Azure CLI and any differences in command usage.
