Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a significant Windows bias by providing only PowerShell-based CLI examples for scripting and automation tasks, with no mention of Azure CLI (cross-platform) or Bash/Linux equivalents. All command-line automation is shown using PowerShell cmdlets, which are native to Windows and less commonly used on Linux or macOS. There is no guidance or parity for users on Linux or macOS platforms, and the documentation implicitly assumes a Windows-centric workflow.
Recommendations:
- Add equivalent Azure CLI (az) command examples for all PowerShell scripts and tasks, as Azure CLI is cross-platform and widely used on Linux and macOS.
- Explicitly mention that PowerShell examples are provided and offer Bash or shell script alternatives where appropriate.
- Reorder sections or provide parallel examples so that both Windows (PowerShell) and Linux/macOS (Azure CLI/Bash) users are equally supported.
- Include notes or links to documentation on how to install and use Azure CLI on non-Windows platforms.
- Consider referencing automation options available in Cloud Shell, which supports both Bash and PowerShell, to highlight cross-platform capabilities.
