Summary:
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and PowerShell examples for programmatic management, but PowerShell is given equal or greater prominence, and is often shown before or alongside CLI. PowerShell is a Windows-centric tool, and its inclusion as a primary example may indicate a bias toward Windows users. There are no explicit Linux shell (bash) or scripting examples, and no mention of Linux-specific tools or workflows. The use of PowerShell and references to it as a main automation method may disadvantage Linux-first users, despite Azure CLI being cross-platform.
Recommendations:
- Prioritize Azure CLI examples before PowerShell, as CLI is cross-platform and more familiar to Linux users.
- Explicitly mention that Azure CLI commands work on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and can be run in native terminals.
- Where PowerShell examples are given, provide equivalent bash shell script examples for Linux users.
- Clarify that Cloud Shell supports both Bash and PowerShell, and show how to select Bash.
- Avoid referring to PowerShell as the default or primary automation tool; instead, present it as an option alongside CLI.
- Add a section or callout for Linux users, highlighting any nuances or best practices for managing access restrictions from Linux environments.
