Summary:
The documentation provides both Azure CLI (Bash) and PowerShell examples for all major scenarios, ensuring parity in scripting approaches. However, there is evidence of Windows bias in the underlying implementation details and references. Specifically, the documentation references the Windows-specific CommandLineToArgvW system call for argument parsing, and PowerShell (traditionally a Windows tool) is given equal prominence to Bash/CLI, despite its Windows origins. Additionally, the documentation refers to Windows-style escaping (e.g., double-escaping quotes) and PowerShell cmdlets, which may be less familiar to Linux users. The mention of Connect-AzAccount and Start-Sleep, both PowerShell-specific, further reinforces this bias. However, there are no missing Linux examples, and Bash/CLI examples are present throughout.
Recommendations:
- When referencing system calls or argument parsing, provide Linux equivalents or clarify that the implementation is cross-platform (e.g., explain how arguments are parsed in Linux containers).
- Where PowerShell-specific tools or patterns are mentioned (e.g., Connect-AzAccount, Start-Sleep), offer equivalent Bash/CLI guidance or note that these are PowerShell-specific.
- Clarify that PowerShell is available cross-platform, but also highlight native Linux/Bash scripting patterns where appropriate.
- Review and balance the order of presentation so that Bash/CLI and PowerShell are alternated or presented in a way that does not always prioritize Windows/PowerShell concepts.
- Add a brief section explaining the cross-platform nature of deployment scripts, including any differences in behavior or environment between Windows and Linux containers.
