Summary
The documentation demonstrates a mild Windows bias by referencing PowerShell-specific syntax and providing guidance for PowerShell users before Linux users. While the main CLI examples use Bash syntax and recommend the Azure Cloud Shell (which is Bash-based), the documentation includes explicit instructions for PowerShell users, such as replacing backslashes with backticks for line continuation. There are no Linux-specific tools or troubleshooting steps, and the documentation does not provide parity for Linux command-line environments beyond Bash.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit Linux (non-Bash) and macOS instructions or notes where relevant, especially for users running CLI commands in native Linux terminals.
  • Include troubleshooting steps or references for common Linux issues (e.g., file permissions, path differences) when configuring the device agent.
  • Balance PowerShell-specific notes with equivalent notes for Linux shells (e.g., zsh, fish) or clarify that Bash syntax is cross-platform in Cloud Shell.
  • When referencing tools or environments, mention Linux-native options (e.g., WSL, native Linux Azure CLI installation) alongside Windows and PowerShell.
  • Ensure that any screenshots or UI references do not assume a Windows environment unless unavoidable.
