Summary
The documentation demonstrates a bias toward Windows environments by prioritizing PowerShell-based instructions and tools, referencing Windows-centric patterns, and not providing explicit Linux/macOS guidance or examples. PowerShell is mentioned and exemplified before Azure CLI, and there is no discussion of cross-platform shell usage or Linux-specific considerations. The documentation assumes familiarity with Windows tools and does not address potential differences or requirements for Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit Linux/macOS instructions and examples, especially for authentication and environment setup (e.g., clarify that Azure CLI and PowerShell Core are cross-platform, and show usage in bash/zsh).
  • When listing tooling (e.g., PowerShell, Azure CLI), present Azure CLI examples first or in parallel, as it is natively cross-platform.
  • Include notes or sections on any OS-specific prerequisites, such as package managers for installing Azure CLI or PowerShell on Linux/macOS.
  • Where PowerShell cmdlets are referenced, clarify if they require Windows PowerShell or if they work with PowerShell Core on Linux/macOS.
  • Add screenshots or terminal output examples from Linux/macOS environments where applicable.
  • Explicitly state that all command-line steps can be performed on Linux/macOS, and provide troubleshooting tips for non-Windows users.
