Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for creating instant access snapshots, but the PowerShell example is presented immediately after the CLI example and before the portal and ARM template examples. While Azure CLI is cross-platform, PowerShell is primarily associated with Windows, although it is available on Linux and macOS. There are no Linux-specific shell examples (e.g., Bash), and no explicit mention of Linux/macOS compatibility for PowerShell commands. The documentation does not reference Windows-only tools, but the ordering and emphasis may subtly favor Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly note that Azure CLI commands are cross-platform and suitable for Linux/macOS users.
  • Consider providing Bash shell examples or clarifying that CLI commands are intended for Bash/zsh environments.
  • Add a note that Azure PowerShell is available on Linux/macOS, or link to installation instructions for those platforms.
  • Alternate the order of CLI and PowerShell examples to avoid implicit Windows-first bias.
  • If possible, include sample scripts for Linux users (e.g., Bash) for common tasks.
