Summary
The documentation provides examples for Azure CLI, Azure PowerShell, and the Azure Portal. While Azure CLI is cross-platform, the inclusion of Azure PowerShell (which is most commonly associated with Windows environments) and the lack of explicit Linux shell (bash) examples or mention of Linux-specific tooling introduces a subtle Windows bias. Furthermore, the PowerShell example is given equal prominence to the CLI, and there is no explicit indication that all commands are tested or work identically on Linux. There are no bash or Linux-native command examples, and PowerShell is still often perceived as a Windows-first tool.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit bash or Linux shell examples for running the Azure CLI command, demonstrating usage in a Linux terminal.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI commands work identically on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and provide any necessary notes about cross-platform differences if they exist.
  • If PowerShell Core (cross-platform) is supported, specify this, or otherwise clarify the Windows-centric nature of the PowerShell example.
  • Consider reordering the examples to present the Azure CLI (the most cross-platform tool) first, followed by PowerShell and then the Portal.
  • Explicitly mention platform compatibility in the documentation introduction or in each example section.
