Summary
The documentation provides detailed examples for both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell, with the PowerShell section being prominent and comprehensive. PowerShell is a Windows-centric tool, and there are no explicit Linux shell (bash) or cross-platform scripting examples beyond Azure CLI. The ordering of sections places Azure CLI first, but the PowerShell section is equally detailed and assumes familiarity with Windows tooling. There are no bash or Linux-native command examples, and the documentation does not mention or address Linux-specific considerations or tools.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit bash/Linux shell examples for all Azure CLI commands, demonstrating usage in a Linux terminal environment.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI commands are fully cross-platform and provide any Linux-specific notes if needed (e.g., differences in quoting or output parsing).
  • Consider including a section or tab for bash scripting, showing how to automate provider registration in Linux environments.
  • Review language to ensure parity, e.g., avoid assuming PowerShell as the default scripting environment.
  • If relevant, mention that Azure CLI is available on Windows, macOS, and Linux, and provide installation links for each.

# [PowerShell](#tab/azure-powershell)

You can use Azure PowerShell to get information about a resource provider's registration status and
register a resource provider.

Use [Get-AzResourceProvider](/powershell/module/az.resources/get-azresourceprovider) to display the registration status for your subscription's resource providers.

The following command lists all the subscription's resource providers and whether they're `Registered` or `NotRegistered`.


To register a provider, use [Register-AzResourceProvider](/powershell/module/az.resources/register-azresourceprovider) and provide the resource provider's name.
