windows_first
Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively providing Azure PowerShell (Windows-centric) command-line examples for deploying templates and by referencing 'AzurePowerShell' in resource definitions. There are no examples using cross-platform tools such as Azure CLI (az), nor are Linux shell or Bash examples provided. Windows tools and patterns are mentioned exclusively, and Linux or cross-platform equivalents are missing.
Recommendations:
- Add equivalent Azure CLI (az) command examples alongside PowerShell examples for template deployment and parameter passing.
- When referencing deployment scripts, include examples for both 'AzurePowerShell' and 'AzureCLI' in the 'kind' property to demonstrate parity.
- Explicitly mention that both PowerShell and CLI are supported, and provide guidance for Linux/macOS users.
- Where shell commands are shown, provide both PowerShell and Bash (or sh) syntax.
- Review all examples to ensure that Windows-specific tools or patterns are not presented as the only or primary option.
