Summary
The documentation provides parallel instructions for Azure Portal, PowerShell, Azure CLI, and Terraform. However, PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) is given a dedicated section with detailed, step-by-step examples, and is listed before CLI and Terraform. The PowerShell instructions reference installing Azure PowerShell locally, a pattern most common on Windows. There is no explicit mention of Linux/macOS alternatives for scripting (e.g., Bash), nor are Linux-specific CLI usage patterns highlighted. While CLI and Terraform are cross-platform, the ordering and depth of PowerShell coverage indicate a mild Windows bias.
Recommendations
  • List Azure CLI instructions before PowerShell, as CLI is natively cross-platform.
  • Explicitly mention that Azure CLI and Terraform work on Linux/macOS and provide links or notes for installing them on those platforms.
  • Add Bash scripting examples or notes for Linux users where appropriate.
  • In PowerShell sections, clarify that Azure PowerShell can be used in Cloud Shell (browser-based, cross-platform) and on Linux/macOS, not just Windows.
  • Ensure parity in troubleshooting and environment setup notes for Linux/macOS users.
