Summary:
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for configuring active geo-replication, but does not include any Linux-specific shell (e.g., Bash) or cross-platform scripting examples. PowerShell, which is traditionally associated with Windows, is given a dedicated section with detailed examples. There are no explicit Linux command-line (bash) or scripting examples, nor is there mention of Linux-specific tools or workflows. The ordering of examples (CLI first, then PowerShell) is somewhat neutral, but the lack of Linux/Bash parity and the heavy PowerShell focus indicate a mild Windows bias.
Recommendations:
- Add explicit Bash shell examples for all CLI commands, demonstrating usage in a typical Linux environment.
- Clarify that Azure CLI commands are cross-platform and can be run on Linux, macOS, and Windows, possibly with sample terminal prompts (e.g., $ for bash, PS> for PowerShell).
- Include notes or examples for automation using Linux-native tools (e.g., bash scripts, cron jobs) where PowerShell scripting is shown.
- Where PowerShell is mentioned, consider also mentioning cross-platform PowerShell Core, or clarify if the examples are intended for Windows PowerShell only.
- Ensure that any references to tools or workflows are inclusive of both Windows and Linux environments, and avoid assuming a Windows-first context.

Flagged Code Snippets
To configure active geo-replication properly, the ID of the cache instance being created must be added with the `-LinkedDatabase` parameter. The ID is in the format:
`/subscriptions/<your-subscription-ID>/resourceGroups/<your-resource-group-name>/providers/Microsoft.Cache/redisEnterprise/<your-cache-name>/databases/default`
#### Create new Azure Managed Redis instance in an existing geo-replication group using PowerShell
This example creates a new Balanced B10 cache instance called _Cache2_ in the West US region. Then, the script adds the cache to the active geo-replication group, _replicationGroup_ created in the previous procedure. The result is the two caches, _Cache1_ and _Cache2_, are linked in an active-active configuration.
As before, you need to list both _Cache1_ and _Cache2_ using the `--linked-databases` parameter.
### Azure PowerShell
Use Azure PowerShell to create a new cache and geo-replication group, or to add a new cache to an existing geo-replication group. For more information, see [New-AzRedisEnterpriseCache](/powershell/module/az.redisenterprisecache/new-azredisenterprisecache).
