Powershell Heavy 🔧 Windows Tools Windows First
Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. PowerShell is consistently referenced as a primary automation method, with explicit instructions for installing PowerShell modules and using PowerShell cmdlets. REST and Azure CLI examples are provided, but PowerShell is often mentioned first or in parallel, and there are no references to Linux-specific shell patterns (e.g., bash, zsh) or alternative scripting environments. The instructions for installing modules and extensions are tailored to Windows/PowerShell users, and there is no mention of Linux package managers or shell environments. The documentation assumes familiarity with Windows tooling and does not address cross-platform nuances, such as differences in CLI usage or scripting between Windows and Linux.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit notes about cross-platform compatibility for Azure CLI and REST API examples, clarifying that they work on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
  • Provide Linux-specific instructions for installing Azure CLI extensions (e.g., using apt, yum, or curl) and clarify that PowerShell Core is available on Linux/macOS, with installation steps for those platforms.
  • Include bash/zsh shell script examples alongside PowerShell, especially for automation scenarios.
  • Avoid referencing PowerShell as the default or primary scripting environment; present REST and Azure CLI examples first, or in parallel, and clarify their platform neutrality.
  • Mention any platform-specific caveats (e.g., file path formats, environment variables) that may affect Linux users.
  • Where module installation is discussed, provide equivalent commands for Linux/macOS (e.g., pip, apt, brew) if relevant.

Windows First Powershell Heavy Missing Linux Example
Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for obtaining the service principal ID, but lists Azure CLI first. However, there are no explicit Linux shell or Bash examples for other steps, and PowerShell is mentioned as a primary method. The rest of the programmatic steps use REST API calls, which are platform-agnostic, but there is a lack of explicit Linux/Bash scripting guidance or parity for command-line operations outside of Azure CLI. No Linux-specific tools or workflows are referenced.
Recommendations
  • Ensure that for every PowerShell example, a corresponding Bash/Linux shell example is provided where applicable.
  • Explicitly mention that Azure CLI commands work cross-platform (Windows, Linux, macOS) and provide Bash syntax for scripting.
  • If PowerShell is referenced, clarify its availability on Linux and macOS, or provide alternative commands for Bash users.
  • Add a section or note highlighting Linux usage patterns, such as using curl for REST API calls, and provide sample scripts.
  • Avoid implying Windows as the default environment by balancing the order of examples (e.g., alternate between CLI and PowerShell first).

Powershell Heavy Windows First 🔧 Windows Tools
Summary
The documentation provides examples for REST, Azure PowerShell, and Azure CLI when creating EA subscriptions, but PowerShell is presented before CLI and with more detail. The PowerShell examples reference Azure Cloud Shell and installation steps for PowerShell modules, which are more familiar to Windows users. There is no explicit mention of Linux-specific considerations, and PowerShell is traditionally a Windows-centric tool, though it is now cross-platform. For MCA and MPA subscriptions, only REST API examples are provided, which are platform-neutral.
Recommendations
  • Present Azure CLI examples before PowerShell, as CLI is natively cross-platform and widely used on Linux.
  • Explicitly mention that both Azure CLI and PowerShell are available on Linux and macOS, and provide installation instructions for those platforms.
  • Add notes or examples for running commands in Bash or other Linux shells, especially for scripting scenarios.
  • Avoid referencing Windows-specific tools or environments (e.g., PowerShellGet) without also providing Linux/macOS alternatives.
  • Where Cloud Shell is mentioned, clarify that both Bash and PowerShell environments are available, and show how to select Bash.
  • Ensure parity in troubleshooting and setup instructions for Linux users, such as handling authentication or environment variables.

In the validation and cleanup sections, PowerShell and CLI examples are presented, but PowerShell is given equal or greater prominence, and there is no mention of Bash scripting or Linux-specific workflows. There are no explicit Linux examples or references to Linux-native tools or shell environments.
Recommendations
  • When listing alternative deployment methods, mention Azure CLI before Azure PowerShell, as CLI is cross-platform and more familiar to Linux users.
  • Provide explicit Bash shell examples for CLI commands, including variable assignment and input prompts, to ensure Linux users see their environment reflected.
  • Include references and links to both PowerShell and CLI documentation, not just PowerShell-focused pages.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI is available on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and provide installation/setup links for non-Windows users.
  • Consider adding a section or callout for deploying ARM templates using native Linux tools (e.g., curl + az CLI) or automation scripts.

Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for all deployment and management steps. However, PowerShell examples are given equal prominence to CLI, and PowerShell is a Windows-centric tool. Additionally, references to PowerShell cmdlets (e.g., Get-AzActionGroup, Get-AzConsumptionBudget) and variable assignment patterns (using '@(...)' arrays) are specific to Windows/PowerShell environments. There is no mention of Linux-specific shell patterns (e.g., Bash arrays), nor are there examples tailored for Linux users. The documentation implicitly assumes familiarity with Windows tooling and does not address Linux-specific nuances.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Bash shell variable assignment examples for parameters, especially for arrays (e.g., using myContactEmails=("user1@contoso.com" "user2@contoso.com") and passing them to Azure CLI).
  • Clarify that Azure CLI commands work cross-platform and provide guidance for Linux/macOS users, including any differences in quoting or variable usage.
  • Where PowerShell cmdlets are referenced (e.g., Get-AzActionGroup), also mention the equivalent Azure CLI command (already partially done, but could be more explicit).
  • Consider reordering examples to present Azure CLI (cross-platform) before PowerShell (Windows-centric), or explicitly state that CLI is recommended for Linux/macOS.
  • Add a note or section addressing Linux/macOS users, highlighting any OS-specific considerations for running Bicep deployments and managing resources.
