Summary
The documentation is generally cross-platform and explicitly states applicability to both Linux and Windows VMs. Most command-line instructions are provided for both Azure PowerShell (which is cross-platform but Windows-centric in usage and syntax) and Azure CLI (which is cross-platform). However, the REST API section instructs users to install 'armclient' via Chocolatey, a Windows-only package manager, and provides installation steps only for Windows (cmd.exe and PowerShell), with no mention of Linux/macOS alternatives. Additionally, PowerShell-based instructions and examples are presented before CLI examples, which may create a slight 'Windows-first' impression.
Recommendations
  • For the REST API/armclient section, provide installation instructions for Linux/macOS users, such as using .NET Core global tools, manual download, or alternative package managers (e.g., Homebrew for macOS, apt/yum for Linux), or clarify if armclient is Windows-only.
  • Where possible, present Azure CLI examples before or alongside PowerShell examples, as CLI is more universally cross-platform and familiar to Linux/macOS users.
  • Explicitly state that PowerShell Core (pwsh) is available on Linux/macOS if those examples are intended to be cross-platform.
  • Consider mentioning or linking to alternative REST API tooling (e.g., curl, Postman, or az rest) that works natively on all platforms.
  • Add a note clarifying that Chocolatey is Windows-only and provide equivalent Linux/macOS installation steps or alternatives.
