Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. PowerShell is given a prominent, detailed section before Azure CLI, with explicit instructions for installing and using the Azure PowerShell module (a Windows-centric tool). The PowerShell section is more verbose and includes troubleshooting steps for module installation and versioning, which are specific to Windows environments. Although Azure CLI is covered, there is no mention of Linux-specific usage patterns, and the PowerShell/Windows approach is presented first and in greater detail.
Recommendations:
- Alternate the order of PowerShell and Azure CLI sections, or present Azure CLI first to avoid defaulting to Windows-centric tooling.
- Provide explicit Linux usage notes, such as mentioning that Azure CLI is pre-installed on many Linux distributions and can be installed via package managers like apt or yum.
- Include example commands for common Linux shells (e.g., bash, zsh) and clarify that Azure CLI is cross-platform.
- Reduce the emphasis on PowerShell-specific troubleshooting (e.g., module installation/versioning) unless paralleled with Linux/CLI troubleshooting steps.
- Add a brief section or note about using Azure CLI and Cloud Shell from Linux/macOS environments, highlighting parity and any differences.
