Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias by exclusively using PowerShell syntax for Azure CLI commands, both in setup and resource management steps. There are no Bash or Linux/macOS shell examples, and PowerShell is explicitly mentioned as the terminal of choice. This may create friction for Linux/macOS users who typically use Bash or other shells, as variable assignment and command substitution differ between PowerShell and Bash. The Python SDK and curl examples are cross-platform, but all Azure CLI instructions are PowerShell-centric.
Recommendations
  • Provide Bash equivalents for all Azure CLI command examples, especially for variable assignment and command substitution.
  • Explicitly state that Azure CLI commands can be run from any shell, and clarify differences in syntax for variable assignment and command substitution.
  • Avoid stating 'we're using PowerShell' unless both PowerShell and Bash examples are provided.
  • Add a section or callout for Linux/macOS users, highlighting any differences or providing tailored instructions.
