Summary
The documentation provides detailed instructions and code samples for enabling diagnostic logs using the Azure Portal and PowerShell, both of which are Windows-centric tools. There are no equivalent CLI or Bash examples for Linux/macOS users, and PowerShell is presented as the only scripting option. This creates a bias toward Windows environments and leaves out Linux-native workflows.
Recommendations
- Add Azure CLI (az) examples for enabling diagnostic logging, as the Azure CLI is cross-platform and widely used on Linux and macOS.
- Include Bash shell script examples alongside PowerShell, or at least reference how Linux users can accomplish the same tasks.
- Explicitly mention that PowerShell Core is cross-platform if retaining PowerShell examples, but still provide native Bash/Azure CLI alternatives.
- Ensure that documentation sections do not assume a Windows environment by default; present cross-platform options equally or list Linux-friendly methods first where appropriate.
