Summary:
The documentation is heavily oriented around the Azure portal web interface, with all instructions and screenshots assuming use of a graphical browser. There are no command-line examples or automation options provided (e.g., Azure CLI, PowerShell, or REST API), and no mention of Linux or cross-platform tooling. The only tool mentioned for automation is Terraform, but even that is referenced as a link rather than an integrated example. This approach implicitly favors Windows users, who are more likely to use the Azure portal and PowerShell, and does not address the needs of Linux users or those who prefer command-line or automated workflows.
Recommendations:
- Add equivalent instructions and examples for managing billing accounts using the Azure CLI (az), which is cross-platform and widely used on Linux.
- Where possible, provide REST API examples (with curl or similar tools) for key operations, to support automation and scripting on any OS.
- If PowerShell is referenced, ensure Azure CLI or bash alternatives are given equal prominence and appear before or alongside PowerShell examples.
- Explicitly mention that all portal-based steps can be performed from any OS with a supported browser, but highlight CLI/API options for users who prefer or require non-GUI workflows.
- Include links to Azure CLI and REST API documentation for billing/account management tasks.
- Consider adding a section or callout for Linux/macOS users, summarizing available tools and approaches for managing billing outside the Azure portal.
