Summary
The documentation provides deployment instructions for both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell, but the PowerShell example is given equal prominence to the CLI example, which may suggest a Windows-centric approach. There are no explicit Linux-specific instructions or examples, and the PowerShell tab may be confusing or irrelevant for Linux users. The documentation does not mention or link to Linux shell alternatives or clarify cross-platform compatibility for the CLI commands.
Recommendations
  • Clearly indicate that Azure CLI commands are cross-platform and preferred for Linux/macOS users, while PowerShell is primarily for Windows (unless using PowerShell Core).
  • List the Azure CLI example first, as it is the most cross-platform option, and consider making it the default tab.
  • Add a note clarifying that Azure CLI works on Windows, Linux, and macOS, and provide installation links for each OS.
  • If PowerShell is included, specify that it is for users who have PowerShell installed (Windows or PowerShell Core on Linux/macOS).
  • Consider providing bash/zsh shell examples for Linux users, especially for common tasks like file upload to Blob storage.
  • Explicitly mention that all steps (except PowerShell) are fully supported on Linux, and provide troubleshooting tips or links for Linux environments.
