Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by providing only Azure PowerShell command examples for deployment tasks, without any equivalent Azure CLI (cross-platform/Linux-friendly) examples. The PowerShell examples are presented as the default and only method for resource creation and management, and there is no mention or illustration of Linux-native tools or workflows. Although the page links to both Linux (Azure CLI) and Windows (PowerShell) guides at the end, the in-page walkthroughs and code samples exclusively use PowerShell, potentially disadvantaging Linux users.
Recommendations:
- For every PowerShell example, provide an equivalent Azure CLI example, especially for resource creation and management tasks (e.g., New-AzVm, New-AzAvailabilitySet).
- When introducing command-line examples, present Azure CLI (cross-platform) examples first or in parallel with PowerShell to avoid implicit prioritization of Windows tooling.
- Explicitly mention that all operations can be performed on Linux/macOS using Azure CLI, and link to relevant CLI documentation inline.
- Consider including a section or callout that highlights cross-platform deployment options and best practices for Linux users.
- Audit the documentation for other instances where Windows-specific tools or workflows are assumed, and ensure Linux parity throughout.
