Summary
The documentation consistently presents PowerShell-based workflows for both Windows and Linux, rather than using native Linux shell commands for Linux scenarios. Additionally, in all tabbed code blocks, Windows examples are listed before Linux, reinforcing a Windows-first perspective. While Linux is not omitted, there is a lack of parity in using platform-appropriate tools and conventions for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Provide native Bash/shell command examples for Linux scenarios, especially when using the Azure CLI, rather than only PowerShell.
- When presenting tabbed code blocks, alternate the order of Windows and Linux examples or use a neutral default (e.g., CLI first, then platform-specific).
- Where possible, use platform-appropriate scripting languages and conventions (e.g., Bash for Linux, PowerShell for Windows) to improve clarity and accessibility for Linux users.
- Explicitly mention that PowerShell Core is required for Linux PowerShell examples, or provide equivalent Bash commands.
- Review and update documentation templates to ensure Linux parity in both tooling and instructional flow.
