Summary
The documentation exclusively uses PowerShell scripts and the Az PowerShell module for all steps, including authentication, request construction, and REST API invocation. No examples are provided for Linux/macOS users (e.g., Bash, curl, Azure CLI), and Windows tools and patterns are referenced throughout without mention of cross-platform alternatives. This creates friction for non-Windows users and may prevent them from following the quickstart without significant adaptation.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent examples using Bash and curl for Linux/macOS users.
  • Include Azure CLI commands for authentication and REST API invocation, which are cross-platform.
  • Clearly indicate that PowerShell examples are Windows-centric and provide links or instructions for installing PowerShell Core on Linux/macOS if PowerShell must be used.
  • Present examples for both Windows and Linux/macOS side by side, or at least alternate which platform is shown first.
  • Mention that the Az PowerShell module is available for PowerShell Core on Linux/macOS, but also provide native Bash/curl/CLI alternatives.
