Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for all command-line operations, but PowerShell is always presented as an equal alternative, not as a fallback. There is a reference to a Windows-specific scenario (WinRM on a Windows VM) in the introduction, and the PowerShell examples use Windows-style line continuations (backticks). There are no explicit Linux shell examples (e.g., Bash), and no mention of Linux-specific tools or patterns. The documentation assumes familiarity with PowerShell, which is primarily a Windows tool, although it is now cross-platform. The ordering of examples sometimes places Azure CLI first, which is more cross-platform, but the presence of PowerShell throughout and the Windows VM reference indicate a mild Windows bias.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Bash shell examples alongside Azure CLI commands to demonstrate Linux parity, including line continuations and environment variable usage.
  • Avoid referencing Windows-specific scenarios (such as WinRM on a Windows VM) without also providing Linux equivalents or alternatives.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI commands are cross-platform and can be used on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
  • If PowerShell is included, note that it is available cross-platform, but consider adding Bash alternatives for users on Linux.
  • Ensure that any tool or pattern mentioned (such as PowerShell line continuations) is accompanied by the equivalent for Bash or other common Linux shells.
