Summary
The documentation demonstrates a notable Windows bias, especially in the Azure CLI and PowerShell sections. Windows PowerShell is referenced as the default shell for CLI usage, and all CLI and PowerShell code samples use Windows-style prompts and paths (e.g., PS C:\Windows>). Installation instructions and examples for Azure CLI and PowerShell modules are Windows-centric, with explicit references to MSI installers and Windows PowerShell versions. There is no mention of Linux/macOS equivalents, nor are Bash or non-Windows terminal examples provided, despite Azure CLI and Cloud Shell supporting Bash. This may create friction for Linux/macOS users, who must adapt instructions and commands for their environments.
Recommendations
- Provide explicit instructions and examples for Linux/macOS users, including Bash terminal usage and installation steps (e.g., apt, yum, Homebrew).
- Show CLI examples using generic shell prompts ($) or Bash, not just Windows PowerShell (PS C:\Windows>).
- Mention and demonstrate the use of Azure CLI in Bash (locally and in Cloud Shell), including sample commands and outputs.
- Clarify that Azure CLI and PowerShell modules are cross-platform, and link to platform-specific installation guides.
- Avoid language that implies Windows is the default or preferred platform for CLI usage.
