Summary:
The documentation provides command-line examples for Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell, with PowerShell examples present for every operation. While Azure CLI is cross-platform, PowerShell is traditionally associated with Windows, and its inclusion in parity with CLI can signal a Windows-centric approach. Furthermore, the documentation includes PowerShell examples before or alongside CLI, and does not mention or provide Linux-native shell (e.g., Bash) or scripting examples. There is also no explicit mention of Linux tooling or Linux-specific considerations, despite App Service supporting Linux workloads.
Recommendations:
- Clearly state that Azure CLI commands are fully supported on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and recommend CLI as the primary cross-platform tool.
- Add explicit Bash shell script examples where relevant, or clarify that Azure CLI commands can be run in Bash or other Linux shells.
- If PowerShell is included, clarify that Azure PowerShell is available cross-platform, but avoid implying it is required for Linux users.
- Where platform-specific steps are necessary (e.g., for Linux or Windows containers), provide separate, clearly labeled instructions.
- Review the order of examples: consider listing Azure CLI (cross-platform) before PowerShell to reinforce Linux parity.
- Include troubleshooting or operational notes relevant to Linux environments, such as file permissions, shell differences, or integration caveats.
