Summary
The documentation provides examples for Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell, with PowerShell being a Windows-centric tool. The PowerShell example is given equal prominence to the CLI example, but there are no Linux/macOS-specific shell examples (e.g., Bash or zsh), nor is there guidance for Linux users beyond the CLI. The prerequisites list both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell, but does not clarify that PowerShell is primarily for Windows users, nor does it mention cross-platform alternatives or note PowerShell Core's cross-platform support. The ordering of examples (CLI first, then PowerShell) is neutral, but the presence of PowerShell as a primary example without Linux/macOS shell alternatives creates friction for non-Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Clarify that Azure PowerShell is primarily for Windows users, and mention PowerShell Core's cross-platform support if relevant.
  • Provide Bash/zsh shell examples for Linux/macOS users, or explicitly state that Azure CLI is the recommended cross-platform tool.
  • Add a note in the prerequisites section indicating which tools are best suited for each platform.
  • Consider linking to guidance for using Azure CLI on Linux/macOS, or to PowerShell Core installation instructions for those platforms.
