Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for deployment and management tasks, but PowerShell is given equal or sometimes more prominence than CLI. PowerShell is a Windows-centric tool, and there is no mention of Linux-specific shell environments or examples (e.g., Bash). The documentation does not clarify cross-platform compatibility for PowerShell, and there are no Linux-specific notes or examples, which may lead Linux users to feel less supported.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly state that both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell are cross-platform, and clarify installation instructions for Linux and macOS users.
  • Add Bash-specific examples or notes, especially for common deployment and file management tasks.
  • When presenting multiple command-line options, consider listing Azure CLI (which is more universally cross-platform) before PowerShell.
  • Include a section or callout for Linux/macOS users, mentioning any differences or prerequisites.
  • Avoid assuming PowerShell is the default or primary shell; clarify that users can use their preferred shell environment.
