Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and PowerShell examples for deployment and cleanup tasks, but it demonstrates a Windows bias by listing PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) as an equal alternative to Azure CLI, and by not mentioning or providing any Linux- or macOS-specific shell examples (such as Bash). The prerequisites section lists Visual Studio Code and PowerShell before Azure CLI, and does not mention Linux-native editors or shells. There are no explicit Linux or macOS instructions, and the use of PowerShell is emphasized throughout, which may not be as familiar or available to Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly mention that Azure CLI commands work on Windows, Linux, and macOS, and clarify that PowerShell is optional.
  • Provide Bash shell examples or clarify that the Azure CLI examples are suitable for Bash on Linux/macOS.
  • In the prerequisites, mention that Visual Studio Code and Azure CLI are cross-platform, and suggest Linux-native editors as alternatives.
  • Consider reordering examples to show Azure CLI (cross-platform) before PowerShell, or clarify that PowerShell Core is available on Linux/macOS.
  • Add notes or callouts for Linux/macOS users regarding any platform-specific considerations.
