Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias by exclusively providing Azure PowerShell examples for deploying and cleaning up ARM templates, with no mention or examples of equivalent steps using Azure CLI, Bash, or other cross-platform tools. The instructions assume use of Azure Cloud Shell for PowerShell, and all command-line steps and outputs are PowerShell-specific. There is no guidance for Linux/macOS users or those preferring Bash/Azure CLI, and the 'Next steps' section links only to further PowerShell-based tutorials.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent Azure CLI (az) examples for all deployment and cleanup steps, using Bash syntax where appropriate.
- Explicitly mention that Azure Cloud Shell supports both Bash and PowerShell, and provide instructions for both environments.
- Include sample outputs for Azure CLI commands to match the PowerShell output shown.
- In the 'Next steps' section, link to tutorials using Azure CLI and/or Bash, not just PowerShell.
- Review terminology and instructions to ensure they are not PowerShell- or Windows-centric (e.g., avoid assuming familiarity with PowerShell cmdlets).
