Summary
The documentation consistently lists PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) as the first automation method in all operation tables, and provides explicit PowerShell example links for nearly every scenario. This ordering and emphasis on PowerShell, even when cross-platform tools like Azure CLI are equally or more relevant for Linux users, demonstrates a Windows-first and PowerShell-heavy bias. There is little to no mention of Linux-native scripting or automation patterns, and no explicit Linux shell (bash) examples are provided. The documentation assumes PowerShell as the primary scripting interface, which may alienate Linux administrators.
Recommendations
- Alternate the order of PowerShell and CLI columns in tables, or list CLI first for scenarios where Linux is common.
- Explicitly mention that Azure CLI commands and examples are cross-platform and can be run on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
- Add bash shell script examples or references for common automation tasks, especially for Linux-centric workloads.
- Where PowerShell is not supported (e.g., SAP HANA), highlight this as a parity issue and provide guidance for Linux users.
- Include a section or callout for Linux administrators, summarizing recommended tools and scripting approaches.
- Review linked example pages to ensure they include Linux-friendly instructions and not just PowerShell scripts.
