windows_tools

Summary

The documentation shows some Windows bias in the prerequisites section, where Windows and PowerShell options are listed before Linux equivalents, and Windows-specific tooling (PowerShell, Visual Studio Code) is emphasized. However, the main Terraform examples are provided for both Linux and Windows App Service plans, and the implementation steps use Bash commands, which are cross-platform.

Recommendations

List Linux/Bash options before Windows/PowerShell in the prerequisites to avoid 'windows_first' ordering.
Ensure that all command-line examples are clearly marked as cross-platform or provide explicit Linux/macOS and Windows (PowerShell/CMD) alternatives where relevant.
Mention Linux-native editors (such as Vim, Nano, or VS Code on Linux) alongside Visual Studio Code to avoid the impression of Windows tooling preference.
In the prerequisites, clarify that Azure Cloud Shell is available in both Bash and PowerShell, and that both are accessible from any OS.
If referencing PowerShell, also reference Bash or other shells for parity, especially in step-by-step instructions.
