Summary
The documentation consistently uses Azure Redis endpoints in the form of '<RedisName>.redis.cache.windows.net', which is Windows-branded. There is no mention of Linux-specific tools, commands, or patterns, and the documentation does not provide any Linux shell or CLI examples. The documentation also refers to environment variable names and connection strings that are Windows-centric (e.g., '.windows.net'), and does not address Linux-specific deployment or configuration considerations. While the documentation is not overtly PowerShell-heavy, it implicitly assumes a Windows context by using Windows endpoints and not mentioning Linux environments.
Recommendations
  • Include explicit Linux/Bash shell examples for setting environment variables and connecting to Redis.
  • Mention that the '.windows.net' endpoint is used regardless of the client OS, but clarify that the instructions apply equally to Linux and Windows environments.
  • Provide guidance or examples for common Linux deployment scenarios (e.g., using environment variables in Docker containers, Kubernetes secrets, or Linux-based Azure compute services).
  • If any platform-specific steps exist (such as certificate handling or SSL validation differences), document them for both Windows and Linux.
  • Consider using more neutral language and endpoint examples, or explicitly state that the endpoint naming is an Azure convention and not OS-specific.
