windows_first
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. PowerShell is presented as a primary automation method alongside the Azure CLI, and the prerequisites section provides detailed instructions for installing and using Azure PowerShell, which is a Windows-centric tool. The documentation refers to 'PowerShell' without clarifying cross-platform support, and the CLI examples use the Azure CLI, which is cross-platform, but there is no mention of Bash or Linux-specific shell usage. The order of presentation is mostly Portal, PowerShell, then CLI, which subtly prioritizes Windows tooling. There are no explicit Linux/Bash examples or references to Linux-native tools.
Recommendations:
- Clarify that Azure PowerShell is available cross-platform, but also provide Bash shell examples where appropriate.
- Add explicit Bash/Linux shell examples for CLI commands, including sample shell scripts for automation.
- In the prerequisites, mention that Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell are both available on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and provide installation links for all platforms.
- Consider alternating the order of PowerShell and CLI examples, or explicitly stating that both are cross-platform.
- Where possible, provide guidance for Linux users (e.g., using Bash variables, scripting, or integrating with Linux-native automation tools).
