Summary

The documentation provides detailed PowerShell instructions (a Windows-centric tool) before Azure CLI examples, and does not mention or provide Linux-specific command-line environments or examples. There is a lack of parity in guidance for Linux users, as the PowerShell section is more detailed and appears before the Azure CLI, which is cross-platform. No explicit Linux shell (bash) or scripting examples are given, and the template section assumes use of the Azure Portal, which is platform-agnostic but not CLI-based.

Recommendations

Present Azure CLI examples before PowerShell, as Azure CLI is cross-platform and more familiar to Linux users.
Explicitly mention that Azure CLI commands work on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and provide sample bash shell usage where appropriate.
Balance the level of detail between PowerShell and Azure CLI sections to ensure Linux users have equally comprehensive instructions.
Consider adding a section or note for Linux users, highlighting any platform-specific considerations or tips.
If possible, provide examples using Azure SDKs or REST API calls that are platform-neutral.

To disable container soft delete, call the **Disable-AzStorageContainerDeleteRetentionPolicy** command.

# [Azure CLI](#tab/azure-cli)

To enable container soft delete with Azure CLI, first install Azure CLI, version 2.26.0 or later. Next, call the [az storage account blob-service-properties update](/cli/azure/storage/account/blob-service-properties#az-storage-account-blob-service-properties-update) command and specify the number of days for the retention period.
