Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and PowerShell examples for managing environment variables in Azure Container Apps, but the PowerShell section is significantly more detailed and complex, reflecting a Windows-centric approach. PowerShell (a Windows-native tool) is given equal prominence to Azure CLI, and the PowerShell workflow is described in much greater depth, including object creation and manipulation, which may be unfamiliar or irrelevant to Linux/macOS users. There is no mention of Linux-specific tools, shell scripting, or considerations for non-Windows environments, and the documentation does not clarify that Azure CLI is cross-platform while PowerShell examples are primarily for Windows users.
Recommendations
- Clarify that Azure CLI is cross-platform and suitable for Linux/macOS/Windows, while PowerShell is primarily for Windows users (or for those who have installed PowerShell Core on other platforms).
- Provide Bash shell scripting examples alongside PowerShell, especially for common automation scenarios, to ensure Linux users have parity.
- Reduce the depth and complexity of the PowerShell section unless there is a specific Windows-only feature being demonstrated. Instead, focus on Azure CLI as the primary, platform-neutral interface.
- Explicitly state in each section which platforms the instructions are intended for, and recommend Azure CLI for Linux/macOS users.
- If PowerShell is included, also mention PowerShell Core and its cross-platform capabilities, but do not assume all users have it installed.
- Consider adding a table or quick-start guide comparing Azure CLI and PowerShell usage for common tasks, with notes on platform compatibility.
