🔧 Windows Tools Missing Linux Example
Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on the Power BI App and Power BI Desktop, which are primarily Windows-based tools. There are no instructions or examples for Linux or macOS users, nor are alternative cross-platform solutions mentioned. All screenshots and steps assume the use of the Windows Power BI ecosystem, and there is no discussion of Linux-compatible workflows or tools.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly state platform requirements and limitations (e.g., Power BI Desktop is Windows-only).
  • Provide guidance for Linux/macOS users, such as using Power BI Service in the browser or alternative reporting tools.
  • Include troubleshooting steps and installation instructions for non-Windows platforms where possible.
  • Mention open-source or cross-platform alternatives for cost analysis if Power BI is not available.
  • Clarify which steps (such as authentication or data connection) can be performed via browser-based Power BI Service, and which require Windows-only software.

Powershell Heavy Windows First 🔧 Windows Tools
Summary
The documentation provides examples for REST, Azure PowerShell, and Azure CLI when creating Azure subscriptions for EA accounts. PowerShell examples are given equal prominence to Azure CLI, and there are explicit instructions to use Azure Cloud Shell with PowerShell. There is a slight Windows bias in the ordering and emphasis: PowerShell examples are presented before Azure CLI, and the use of PowerShell-specific cmdlets and installation instructions (e.g., PowerShellGet) are included. There is no explicit mention of Linux or bash-specific instructions, nor are there examples using bash scripting or Linux-native tools. For MCA and MPA accounts, only REST API examples are provided, which are cross-platform, but the overall pattern in the EA section leans toward Windows/PowerShell usage.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit bash/Linux shell examples alongside Azure CLI commands, showing usage in typical Linux environments.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI is cross-platform and can be used on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
  • Reorder examples so that REST and Azure CLI are presented before PowerShell, or alternate the ordering to avoid implicit prioritization.
  • Include installation instructions for Azure CLI and PowerShell on Linux and macOS, not just Windows.
  • Mention that Azure Cloud Shell supports both bash and PowerShell, and provide equivalent bash instructions.
  • Where PowerShell-specific modules are referenced, provide analogous instructions for bash/CLI users.

Windows First Powershell Heavy 🔧 Windows Tools
Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for all deployment and management tasks. However, PowerShell examples are given equal prominence to CLI, and PowerShell is a Windows-centric tool. There are no explicit Linux shell examples (e.g., Bash variable assignment), and variable assignment patterns in CLI examples use single quotes and parentheses, which are not idiomatic for Bash/zsh on Linux. Additionally, references to PowerShell cmdlets and tools (e.g., Get-AzActionGroup, Remove-AzConsumptionBudget) reinforce Windows bias. There is no mention of Linux-specific considerations or shell compatibility.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Bash/zsh examples for variable assignment and command usage in Azure CLI sections, using Linux shell syntax.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI commands can be run on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and provide notes on shell differences for variable assignment.
  • Consider moving PowerShell examples to a secondary position or marking them as Windows-specific, while prioritizing cross-platform CLI usage.
  • Where tools are referenced (e.g., Get-AzActionGroup), provide the equivalent Azure CLI command first, and clarify platform compatibility.
  • Add a section or note on cross-platform usage, highlighting any differences or requirements for Linux/macOS users.

Powershell Heavy Windows First 🔧 Windows Tools
Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. PowerShell is presented as the first and most detailed programmatic example for budget creation and management, with CLI and Terraform following. The PowerShell example is extensive, and references to downloading and using the Azure PowerShell module are prominent. Windows-centric tools and patterns (PowerShell, install-module) are mentioned before cross-platform alternatives. There is no explicit mention of Linux-specific considerations or parity, and the CLI example, while present, is less emphasized and follows the PowerShell section.
Recommendations
  • Present Azure CLI examples before PowerShell, as CLI is cross-platform and more widely used on Linux and macOS.
  • Add explicit notes about cross-platform compatibility for all tools, including PowerShell Core and Azure CLI.
  • Include Linux-specific instructions for installing and using Azure CLI and PowerShell (e.g., apt-get, yum, snap), and clarify that PowerShell Core runs on Linux.
  • Balance example detail and prominence between PowerShell and CLI, ensuring CLI examples are as comprehensive as PowerShell ones.
  • Mention and link to Bash scripting or other Linux-native automation options where relevant.
  • Review screenshots and UI instructions to ensure they do not assume a Windows environment (e.g., avoid Windows-only UI elements or terminology).

🔧 Windows Tools Windows First Missing Linux Example
Summary
The documentation page exclusively references the Azure portal and Microsoft-specific administrative concepts (such as EA portal, Microsoft Entra tenants, and EA enrollment) without mentioning or providing examples for Linux-based tools, CLI, or automation methods. No Linux or cross-platform command-line examples (e.g., Azure CLI, Bash, or PowerShell) are provided, and all instructions assume use of the graphical Azure portal, which is more closely associated with Windows environments. The documentation also lists Microsoft-specific offer numbers and payment methods, reinforcing a Windows-centric approach.
Recommendations
  • Add examples for purchasing and managing reservations using Azure CLI and/or REST API, which are cross-platform and commonly used on Linux.
  • Include instructions or references for automating reservation purchases and management via scripts (Bash, Python, etc.), not just through the Azure portal.
  • Mention that the Azure portal is web-based and accessible from any OS, but clarify and provide parity for users who prefer command-line or automation workflows.
  • Reference Linux-friendly tools and patterns where applicable, such as az CLI, and provide links to relevant documentation.
  • Ensure that any administrative concepts (roles, permissions) are explained in a way that is not tied to Windows-specific terminology or tools.

Windows First 🔧 Windows Tools Powershell Heavy Missing Linux Example
Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a mild Windows bias. Windows tools and terminology (e.g., PowerShell, Windows software costs, Azure Hybrid Benefit) are mentioned before or more prominently than Linux equivalents. Examples and links for Windows (such as 'Windows software costs not included with reservations') are provided, while Linux-specific instructions, tools, or parity (e.g., Bash, Linux CLI) are less visible or absent. The mention of PowerShell and Windows licensing is more detailed than for Linux, and Windows is often referenced first in lists or explanations.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit Linux CLI and Bash examples alongside PowerShell for reservation management.
  • Ensure Linux tools and patterns (e.g., Azure CLI on Linux, Bash scripts) are mentioned equally and as prominently as Windows/PowerShell.
  • Add links to Linux-specific documentation (e.g., managing reservations with Bash or Linux CLI) in the 'Next steps' and relevant sections.
  • Balance the order of mention between Windows and Linux technologies in lists and explanations.
  • Clarify any differences in reservation management or billing for Linux-based resources, not just Windows.
