Summary:
The documentation provides parallel examples for Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell throughout, but PowerShell is given equal prominence to the CLI, despite being primarily a Windows-centric tool. There are no explicit Linux shell (bash) or cross-platform scripting examples beyond the CLI, and PowerShell is referenced as a standard tool for automation and scripting. In some sections, PowerShell is mentioned before or alongside CLI, reinforcing its status as a primary automation tool, which may not reflect the experience of Linux users.
Recommendations:
- Clarify that Azure CLI commands are fully supported on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and consider providing bash-specific examples or notes for Linux users.
- Where PowerShell is referenced, note that Azure PowerShell is available cross-platform, but that bash/shell scripting is often preferred on Linux.
- Consider including bash script equivalents for multi-step CLI examples, especially where variables or pipelines are used.
- Avoid implying that PowerShell is the default or only scripting environment for automation; present CLI/bash as the primary cross-platform option.
- Explicitly mention Linux support and provide links to Linux installation and usage guides for both Azure CLI and PowerShell.
