Summary:
The documentation presents both Azure CLI (cross-platform) and PowerShell examples, but PowerShell is given equal prominence to Azure CLI, and is referenced as a primary shell alongside Bash. PowerShell, while available on Linux, is still strongly associated with Windows environments. The documentation also refers to PowerShell-specific commands and patterns, and links to further PowerShell-focused documentation before Linux-specific resources. There is a subtle Windows bias in the parity and prominence given to PowerShell, and in the lack of explicit Linux/Bash-specific guidance or troubleshooting.
Recommendations:
- Prioritize Azure CLI/Bash examples and explanations, as these are more universally applicable across platforms, especially for Linux users.
- Clearly indicate that PowerShell is cross-platform, but note its Windows origins and that Bash is the default for many Linux users.
- Add Linux/Bash-specific troubleshooting tips or notes where relevant (e.g., file paths, permissions).
- When linking to further documentation, ensure Linux/Bash resources are listed first or equally with PowerShell/Windows resources.
- Consider including a short section on the differences in experience between Bash and PowerShell in Cloud Shell, especially for users coming from Linux backgrounds.
