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

Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation provides examples for both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell, but there is a notable emphasis on PowerShell, which is traditionally associated with Windows environments. PowerShell is given equal prominence to Azure CLI, despite CLI being more cross-platform. There are no explicit Linux shell (bash) examples, and PowerShell is presented as a primary automation tool, which may not be as familiar or available to Linux users. Additionally, the prerequisites and instructions do not mention Linux-specific considerations or tools.
Recommendations:
  • Add explicit bash (Linux shell) examples alongside PowerShell, or clarify that Azure CLI commands are cross-platform and show them in a Linux context (e.g., using bash variables and syntax).
  • In the prerequisites, mention that Azure CLI works natively on Linux/macOS and provide installation links or notes for those platforms.
  • De-emphasize PowerShell as a primary automation tool for cross-platform scenarios, or at least note that it is available on Linux/macOS but may require separate installation.
  • Ensure that screenshots and UI instructions do not assume a Windows environment (e.g., file paths, dialogs).
  • Consider including a section or callout for Linux/macOS users with tips or troubleshooting relevant to those platforms.

Flagged Code Snippets

#### [PowerShell](#tab/powershell) The following example uses the [Import-AzApiManagementApi](/powershell/module/az.apimanagement/import-azapimanagementapi?) Azure PowerShell cmdlet to import a WSDL 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. For this example WSDL, the service name is *OrdersAPI*, and one of the available endpoints (interfaces) is *basic*.
