Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Azure PowerShell for command-line instructions, with all CLI examples and scripts using PowerShell cmdlets and syntax. There are no examples or instructions for performing the same tasks using Bash, Azure CLI, or Linux-native tools. The only non-PowerShell method described is via the Azure Portal, which is platform-agnostic, but all scripting and automation guidance is Windows/PowerShell-centric.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent instructions and examples using Azure CLI (az) commands, which are cross-platform and commonly used on Linux and macOS.
  • Provide Bash shell script examples for Linux users, especially for steps involving secure string handling and API calls.
  • Explicitly mention that the Azure Cloud Shell supports both Bash and PowerShell, and show how to perform the task in both environments.
  • Where PowerShell modules are referenced, note their availability and usage on Linux/macOS or provide alternatives.
  • Ensure that screenshots and sample outputs are not exclusively from Windows environments, or supplement with Linux terminal examples.
