Summary:
The documentation consistently presents PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) examples before Azure CLI examples, and uses PowerShell variable syntax in CLI examples. There is a notable emphasis on PowerShell scripts and terminology, which may be less familiar or accessible to Linux users. No native Linux shell (bash) or cross-platform scripting examples are provided, and there is no mention of Linux-specific tools or workflows. The documentation assumes familiarity with Windows/PowerShell patterns, which can create friction for Linux users.
Recommendations:
- Alternate the order of PowerShell and Azure CLI examples, or present Azure CLI (which is cross-platform) examples first.
- Use bash-style variable syntax in Azure CLI examples (e.g., RgName="<ResourceGroupName>") instead of PowerShell-style ($RgName).
- Explicitly state that Azure CLI commands are cross-platform and can be run on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
- Where possible, provide bash script examples for Linux users, especially in sections that involve scripting or automation.
- Avoid exclusive references to Windows tools or patterns; ensure parity in instructions and terminology for both Windows and Linux environments.
- Add a brief section or note on how to install and use Azure CLI and PowerShell on Linux, highlighting cross-platform support.
