Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias, particularly in the CLI section for cloud-based solutions, where PowerShell examples and references are presented before Azure CLI equivalents. PowerShell is a Windows-centric tool, and its prominence may create friction for Linux/macOS users. Additionally, references to 'PowerShell functions for IoT Edge for Linux on Windows' reinforce a Windows-oriented perspective. However, Azure CLI examples are also provided, and most management options (portal, ARM templates, Bicep) are cross-platform, mitigating the overall impact.
Recommendations
  • Present Azure CLI examples before PowerShell in all sections, as CLI is cross-platform and preferred by Linux/macOS users.
  • Explicitly state platform compatibility for each tool (e.g., note that PowerShell is available on Linux/macOS, but CLI is native).
  • Add Bash or shell script examples where appropriate, especially for automation scenarios.
  • Reduce references to Windows-specific tools or patterns unless necessary, and provide Linux/macOS alternatives.
  • Clarify when instructions or modules are Windows-only (e.g., 'IoT Edge for Linux on Windows') and offer native Linux guidance.
