Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. PowerShell examples are given in detail and are presented before Azure CLI equivalents. File path examples use Windows-style paths (e.g., 'c:\policies\coolAccessTier.json') with no mention of Linux/macOS alternatives. There are no explicit Linux/macOS shell examples, nor are there notes about cross-platform differences in command usage or file paths. The Azure portal instructions are platform-agnostic, but scripting and automation sections favor Windows/PowerShell users.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux/macOS shell examples (e.g., Bash) alongside PowerShell, especially for file paths and scripting.
  • Use platform-neutral file paths in examples, or show both Windows and Linux/macOS variants.
  • Explicitly state that Azure CLI works cross-platform and highlight any OS-specific considerations.
  • Where PowerShell is used, mention that it is available on Linux/macOS, or link to installation instructions.
  • Consider presenting Azure CLI examples before PowerShell, as CLI is more universally available.
