Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for authentication, but PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) is featured equally alongside CLI. In several sections, PowerShell examples are given immediately after CLI, and references to PowerShell cmdlets are present throughout. While the CLI is cross-platform, PowerShell is primarily used on Windows, though it is available on Linux/macOS. There is minor bias in the 'Next steps' section, which lists PowerShell after CLI, and in the frequent mention of PowerShell as a primary authentication method. However, Docker and Azure CLI are featured and are cross-platform. The documentation does mention alternative container tools (like podman) and provides guidance for non-Docker environments, which helps Linux parity.
Recommendations
  • Clarify that Azure PowerShell is available cross-platform, but is most commonly used on Windows.
  • Add explicit Linux/macOS notes or examples where PowerShell is mentioned, indicating that Azure CLI is the recommended tool for Linux/macOS users.
  • Consider providing bash shell script examples alongside PowerShell, especially for automation scenarios.
  • In sections listing authentication methods, consider listing Azure CLI first, as it is the most universally supported tool.
  • Where Docker is referenced, note that podman and other container tools are supported, and provide explicit Linux/macOS command examples where appropriate.
