Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows/PowerShell bias by providing detailed PowerShell-based instructions and omitting equivalent Azure CLI (cross-platform) examples. The PowerShell approach is given equal or greater prominence than the Azure Portal, and there are no Linux shell or Azure CLI command examples for key steps like exporting, modifying, or deploying templates. This may hinder users on Linux or macOS who rely on Azure CLI or Bash scripting.
Recommendations
  • Add Azure CLI examples for all major steps (exporting, modifying, and deploying templates), as Azure CLI is cross-platform and widely used on Linux/macOS.
  • When listing options for configuration (e.g., configuring service endpoints), mention Azure CLI before or alongside PowerShell to avoid 'windows_first' ordering.
  • Explicitly state that all operations can be performed from Linux/macOS using Azure CLI, and provide links to relevant CLI documentation.
  • Where PowerShell scripts are shown, provide equivalent Bash/Azure CLI scripts to ensure parity.
  • Consider adding a 'Platform compatibility' note clarifying that the steps are not Windows-specific and can be accomplished on any OS with the appropriate tools.

### [PowerShell](#tab/azure-powershell)

To deploy the template by using PowerShell:

1. In the **template.json** file, name the target key vault by setting the default value of the key vault name. This example sets the default value of the key vault name to `key-vault-name`.
