Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for authentication, but PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) is given equal prominence to Azure CLI, and is referenced throughout tables and sections. The main authentication table lists PowerShell commands alongside CLI commands, and PowerShell is given its own example blocks, even though Linux/macOS users rarely use PowerShell. There is a minor Windows-first bias in the order of examples and the persistent mention of PowerShell. However, Azure CLI (cross-platform) is always present, and Docker commands are shown in a platform-neutral way. There are no critical missing Linux/macOS instructions, but the prominence of PowerShell may confuse or distract non-Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Clearly indicate that Azure PowerShell examples are primarily for Windows users, and that Azure CLI is recommended for Linux/macOS.
  • In the authentication options table, list Azure CLI before PowerShell, and consider footnoting PowerShell as 'Windows only' or 'optional'.
  • Where PowerShell is shown, add a note that it is available cross-platform but is most commonly used on Windows, and link to installation instructions for Linux/macOS if relevant.
  • Consider adding explicit bash/zsh shell examples where environment variables or scripting are involved, to further improve Linux parity.
  • Review the overall balance of CLI vs PowerShell examples to ensure CLI is the default and PowerShell is supplementary.
