Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for all major steps, but PowerShell is featured as a first-class option throughout, and examples for both are shown side-by-side. There is a slight Windows-first bias in that PowerShell is presented as an equal alternative to Azure CLI, even though PowerShell is primarily a Windows-centric tool (though it is cross-platform now). No Linux-specific tools or shell examples (e.g., Bash scripts) are given, but Azure CLI is cross-platform and is the recommended way for Linux/macOS users. There are no steps that are Windows-only, and Linux users can follow all instructions using Azure CLI. The SSH key generation example includes both Azure CLI and ssh-keygen, which is standard for Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations
  • Clarify that Azure CLI is the recommended approach for Linux/macOS users, and PowerShell is optional for those who prefer it.
  • Consider listing Azure CLI examples before PowerShell examples to reduce perceived Windows-first bias.
  • Explicitly state that all steps can be performed on Linux/macOS using Azure CLI and standard tools.
  • Add a note that PowerShell Core is available on Linux/macOS, but most users on those platforms will prefer Azure CLI.
