Summary
The documentation provides examples for Azure Portal, Azure CLI, and PowerShell. PowerShell is given equal prominence to Azure CLI, but its usage and examples (such as file upload from D:\testFiles) are Windows-centric. The PowerShell examples reference Windows file paths and tools, and the PowerShell section is included as a primary method, which may create friction for Linux/macOS users. There are no explicit Linux/macOS shell examples (e.g., Bash), and PowerShell is presented as a default automation option alongside CLI, despite its historical Windows bias.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Bash examples for key steps, especially for file upload and resource management, to ensure Linux/macOS users have parity.
  • Clarify that PowerShell commands can be run cross-platform (e.g., in Azure Cloud Shell) and provide Linux/macOS path examples where relevant.
  • Avoid using Windows-specific file paths (e.g., D:\testFiles) in PowerShell examples; use generic or platform-neutral paths.
  • Consider listing Azure CLI (which is cross-platform) before PowerShell in example tabs to reduce perceived Windows-first bias.
