Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. PowerShell is mentioned as a primary automation tool alongside Azure CLI, and in some cases, PowerShell examples or links are provided before or more prominently than Azure CLI equivalents. There are references to Windows-specific tools (e.g., 'PowerShell functions for IoT Edge for Linux on Windows'), and the use of PowerShell is highlighted in the cloud-based solution section before Azure CLI. There is also a lack of explicit Linux/Bash examples or references to Linux-native tooling, which may make the documentation less approachable for Linux users.
Recommendations:
- Ensure that Azure CLI (cross-platform) examples are always presented before or alongside PowerShell examples, especially in introductory or summary sections.
- Add explicit Bash/Linux shell examples where automation or scripting is discussed, or clarify that Azure CLI commands work identically on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
- Avoid referencing Windows-specific tools (such as 'PowerShell functions for IoT Edge for Linux on Windows') without providing Linux-native alternatives or clarifying cross-platform support.
- Where PowerShell is mentioned, also mention Bash or other Linux-native scripting environments to ensure parity.
- Consider a dedicated section or callout for Linux users, highlighting any differences or additional steps required on Linux platforms.
