Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. PowerShell is featured as a first-class scripting option alongside Azure CLI throughout, and several explanations and code comments reference Windows-specific tools, APIs, or conventions. For example, the documentation references the Windows API CommandLineToArgvW for argument parsing, and the use of Connect-AzAccount is described in a way that assumes PowerShell familiarity. The PowerShell examples are as prominent as the CLI (Bash) ones, but some explanations (such as error handling and identity management) are more detailed for PowerShell. There is also a tendency to mention PowerShell or Windows-related tools before their Linux/Bash equivalents, and some terminology (e.g., 'cmdlet', 'Connect-AzAccount') is Windows-centric.
Recommendations
  • Wherever PowerShell-specific tools or APIs are mentioned (e.g., Connect-AzAccount, CommandLineToArgvW), provide equivalent Linux/Bash or cross-platform alternatives or explanations.
  • Ensure that CLI (Bash) and PowerShell examples are equally detailed, especially in sections about error handling, identity management, and output handling.
  • When referencing system calls or APIs (such as CommandLineToArgvW), clarify their relevance in a cross-platform context and, if possible, describe the behavior in platform-neutral terms.
  • Review the order of presentation so that Linux/Bash/CLI examples are not consistently secondary to PowerShell/Windows ones.
  • Avoid Windows-centric terminology (like 'cmdlet') without also referencing the equivalent Bash/CLI concepts.
  • Explicitly state that both Bash and PowerShell scripts are supported on Linux-based containers, and clarify any platform-specific behaviors or limitations.
