Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias, particularly in the CLI section for cloud-based solutions, where PowerShell is presented before Azure CLI and receives a dedicated section with multiple examples and links. There is also a reference to 'PowerShell functions for IoT Edge for Linux on Windows,' which is a Windows-specific scenario. While Azure CLI is covered, the prominence and ordering of PowerShell, as well as the lack of explicit Linux/Bash examples or mention of native Linux tools, indicate a bias toward Windows environments.
Recommendations:
- Present Azure CLI examples before PowerShell in CLI sections, as Azure CLI is cross-platform and more commonly used on Linux.
- Ensure parity in example depth and coverage between Azure CLI and PowerShell, especially for cloud-based scenarios.
- Add explicit Bash/Linux shell examples or references where appropriate, especially for automation and scripting.
- Avoid referencing Windows-specific tools (such as 'PowerShell functions for IoT Edge for Linux on Windows') without providing native Linux alternatives or clarifying their applicability.
- Where possible, clarify that all Azure CLI commands work natively on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and provide guidance for Linux users.
- Consider adding a section or callout for Linux users, highlighting any differences or additional steps required.
