Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by providing extensive PowerShell examples and cmdlet references, mentioning PowerShell tools and patterns first and in greater detail, and omitting explicit Linux/bash shell examples. While Azure CLI is mentioned, the CLI example is brief and lacks parity with the PowerShell guidance. There is no discussion of Linux-native tools or scripting environments, and the workflow assumes familiarity with Windows/PowerShell conventions.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent bash/Azure CLI examples for all PowerShell commands, including how to retrieve object IDs and deploy ARM templates from Linux/macOS environments.
- List Azure CLI and bash examples before or alongside PowerShell examples to avoid Windows-first ordering.
- Reference cross-platform tools (e.g., uuidgen for GUID generation) and explain how to perform prerequisite steps (like generating GUIDs or retrieving object IDs) in Linux/macOS shells.
- Clarify that both PowerShell and CLI commands can be run on any OS, and provide guidance for installing and using Azure CLI and PowerShell Core on Linux/macOS.
- Add notes or sections specifically addressing Linux/macOS users, including any differences in command syntax or environment setup.
