Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by providing only PowerShell examples for Azure CLI commands, referencing Windows file paths (e.g., C:\Users\Downloads\...), and instructing users to use PowerShell to set up and run Azure CLI. There are no Linux/macOS shell examples, and instructions for copying file paths or interacting with the filesystem are written from a Windows perspective. This may hinder Linux or macOS users attempting to follow the guide.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel command-line examples using Bash (sh) syntax for Linux/macOS alongside PowerShell examples.
  • Use platform-agnostic file path placeholders (e.g., <path/to/certificate.pem>) or show both Windows and Unix-style paths in examples.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI can be used from any OS and provide links or notes for Linux/macOS installation and usage.
  • Include instructions for copying file paths or locating files on Linux/macOS systems.
  • Avoid language such as 'right-click and copy the path' which is specific to Windows Explorer; instead, offer cross-platform alternatives.
