Summary
The documentation provides detailed instructions for both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell, but the PowerShell section is prominent and uses Windows-centric tooling. PowerShell is a Windows-first tool, and its inclusion as a primary automation method can be seen as a Windows bias, especially since there are no equivalent Bash or Linux shell script examples. The CLI examples are cross-platform, but the ordering (CLI before PowerShell) is good; however, the presence of PowerShell without any Linux shell scripting alternatives (e.g., Bash) or explicit mention of cross-platform PowerShell Core may disadvantage Linux users. There are no explicit Linux-only tools or patterns, and the documentation does not mention or show Linux-specific considerations.
Recommendations
  • Add Bash shell script examples alongside PowerShell, especially for automation scenarios.
  • Explicitly mention that Azure CLI is cross-platform and works on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
  • If including PowerShell, clarify whether the examples work with PowerShell Core on Linux/macOS or are Windows-only.
  • Consider providing parity in scripting examples: for every PowerShell example, provide a Bash or shell equivalent.
  • Highlight any OS-specific considerations (if any) for using these tools on Linux.
  • If possible, add a section or note for Linux users, e.g., how to install and use Azure CLI/PowerShell on Linux.
