Summary
The documentation primarily uses Azure CLI examples, which are cross-platform, but includes a parameter example using PowerShell variable assignment ($params = ...), which is not valid in Bash or other Unix shells. There are no equivalent Linux/Bash examples for passing parameters, and the only variable assignment shown is in PowerShell syntax. This may confuse Linux or macOS users.
Recommendations
  • Provide both PowerShell and Bash examples for variable assignment and parameter passing, e.g., show how to assign and use parameters in Bash: params='{ "name": "firstMsi", "location": "northeurope" }' and then use --parameters "$params".
  • Explicitly note that the Azure CLI commands work on Windows, Linux, and macOS, and clarify any OS-specific syntax differences.
  • Where variable assignment or scripting is shown, always provide both Windows (PowerShell) and Linux/macOS (Bash) variants side by side.
  • Review for any other subtle Windows-centric patterns (such as path separators or environment variable syntax) and ensure parity in examples.
