Summary:
The documentation provides three main methods for creating an IoT Central application: Azure portal (GUI), Azure CLI, and Azure PowerShell. While the Azure CLI is cross-platform, the PowerShell section is Windows-centric and is given equal prominence to the CLI, despite PowerShell being less commonly used on Linux. There are no explicit Linux shell (bash) examples, and the documentation does not mention Linux-specific considerations or tools. The ordering of examples (portal, CLI, then PowerShell) is neutral, but the inclusion of PowerShell as a primary method and the lack of Linux shell examples indicate a Windows bias.
Recommendations:
- Add explicit bash/shell examples for Linux users, especially for common tasks like creating a resource group and an IoT Central application.
- Clarify that Azure CLI commands work on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and provide any Linux-specific installation guidance if needed.
- Consider moving the PowerShell section after CLI, or labeling it as 'for Windows users' to clarify its intended audience.
- Include troubleshooting notes or links relevant to Linux environments (e.g., permissions, package dependencies).
- Where screenshots or UI references are given, note any differences for Linux users if applicable.
