This page is part of the Azure documentation. It contains code examples and configuration instructions for working with Azure services.

Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation provides examples for Azure Portal, Azure CLI, and Azure PowerShell. While Azure CLI is cross-platform, the inclusion of Azure PowerShell (which is traditionally associated with Windows environments) and its parity with CLI in the documentation can be seen as a Windows bias. There are no explicit Linux-specific examples, nor is there mention of Linux-native tools or shell environments. The order of presentation (Portal, CLI, then PowerShell) is neutral, but the presence of PowerShell-specific instructions and requirements, without any Linux shell or scripting examples, may disadvantage Linux users.
Recommendations:
  • Explicitly mention that Azure CLI commands work on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and provide example shell commands (e.g., bash) where appropriate.
  • Include a note or section for Linux users, clarifying that PowerShell is optional and not required on Linux.
  • Provide sample scripts using bash or other common Linux shells for tasks such as environment variable setup and command execution.
  • If referencing PowerShell, consider also referencing bash or zsh for parity, or clarify that PowerShell Core is cross-platform.
  • Add troubleshooting or environment setup notes specific to Linux (e.g., file path differences, installation steps for CLI tools on Linux).

Flagged Code Snippets

After importing the API, if needed, you can update the settings by using the [az apim api update](/cli/azure/apim/api#az-apim-api-update) command. #### [PowerShell](#tab/powershell) The following example uses the [Import-AzApiManagementApi](/powershell/module/az.apimanagement/import-azapimanagementapi?) Azure PowerShell cmdlet to import an OpenAPI specification from the specified URL to an API Management instance named *apim-hello-world*. To import using a path to a specification instead of a URL, use the `-SpecificationPath` parameter.
