Powershell Heavy 🔧 Windows Tools Windows First Missing Linux Example
Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by primarily referencing PowerShell for automation and GUID generation, listing Windows tools (Visual Studio, PowerShell) before cross-platform or Linux-native alternatives, and omitting explicit Linux command-line examples for key tasks such as GUID generation and REST API calls. The guidance assumes familiarity with Windows-centric workflows and does not provide parity for Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux shell (bash) examples for generating GUIDs (e.g., using 'uuidgen').
  • Include REST API call examples using curl with bash, not just PowerShell's Invoke-RestMethod.
  • List cross-platform tools (curl, Insomnia, Bruno) before Windows-specific tools (Visual Studio, PowerShell) when discussing API querying options.
  • Explicitly mention Linux equivalents for any referenced Windows tools or commands.
  • Add troubleshooting steps and verification examples using Linux commands where possible.

Powershell Heavy Windows First 🔧 Windows Tools
Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. PowerShell is presented as the primary programmatic example for creating and editing budgets, with CLI and Terraform examples provided but placed after PowerShell. The tutorial refers to 'install-module' and 'Connect-AzAccount', which are Windows/PowerShell-centric tools, and the overall flow assumes familiarity with Windows tooling. There is no explicit mention of Linux-specific patterns, nor are Linux shell scripting or automation approaches highlighted. The order of examples (PowerShell first, CLI second) further reinforces a Windows-first perspective.
Recommendations
  • Present Azure CLI examples before PowerShell, as CLI is cross-platform and more accessible to Linux/macOS users.
  • Explicitly mention that Azure CLI works on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and provide installation links for each OS.
  • Add bash shell scripting examples for common budget management tasks, demonstrating automation on Linux.
  • Include notes or sections on using the Azure portal and CLI from Linux environments (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS).
  • Reference Linux-native tools (such as cron for scheduling CLI commands) where relevant.
  • Ensure that all PowerShell examples are matched with equivalent CLI or REST API examples, and clarify any limitations or differences for non-Windows users.

🔧 Windows Tools Windows First Powershell Heavy
Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by primarily referencing Windows-centric tools and workflows. Examples include using Visual Studio for building and running ARMClient, referencing PowerShell’s Invoke-RestMethod as a primary API testing method, and describing steps that assume a Windows environment (e.g., command prompt navigation, building .NET projects). Windows tools are listed before cross-platform or Linux-native alternatives, and there are no explicit Linux shell or CLI examples (e.g., Bash, Azure CLI on Linux, or Linux-native editors).
Recommendations
  • Include explicit Linux/Bash examples for API calls (e.g., using curl or httpie in Bash).
  • Provide instructions for building and running ARMClient on Linux/macOS (e.g., using .NET Core CLI instead of Visual Studio).
  • List cross-platform tools (curl, Insomnia, Bruno) before Windows-specific ones (Visual Studio, PowerShell).
  • Add Azure CLI examples for budget creation and management.
  • Clarify that the steps can be performed on Linux/macOS and provide any necessary platform-specific notes.
  • Reference Linux-native editors (e.g., VS Code, nano, vim) for editing files.

🔧 Windows Tools Powershell Heavy Windows First
Summary
The documentation provides examples for REST, PowerShell, and Azure CLI, but PowerShell is highlighted with interactive examples and explicit instructions for using Azure Cloud Shell, which is more familiar to Windows users. The mention of 'Try it' and copy-paste instructions are tailored to the Azure Cloud Shell experience, which is often associated with Windows/PowerShell workflows. There is no mention of Linux-specific shell environments or alternative Linux-native tools. Additionally, the only third-party command-line tool recommended for auditing (ARMClient) is Windows-centric, with no mention of Linux alternatives.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly mention that Azure CLI works cross-platform (Windows, Linux, macOS) and provide Linux-specific usage notes where relevant.
  • Include instructions or examples for Linux shell environments (e.g., bash, zsh), such as copy-paste tips for Linux terminals.
  • Highlight that Azure Cloud Shell supports both Bash and PowerShell, and provide Bash examples alongside PowerShell ones.
  • Suggest Linux-native tools for REST API calls (e.g., curl, httpie) in addition to ARMClient.
  • Ensure that CLI examples are not Windows-centric (avoid references to right-clicking, which is less common in Linux terminals).
  • Add notes about installing and using Azure CLI and PowerShell on Linux, if relevant.

Windows First Powershell Heavy 🔧 Windows Tools Missing Linux Example
Summary
The documentation page exhibits Windows bias in several ways: command-line examples for both PowerShell and Azure CLI are shown with Windows-style prompts (C:\>), and installation instructions reference PowerShell modules and CLI extensions without clarifying cross-platform usage. There is no mention of Linux or macOS environments, nor are there examples tailored for those platforms (e.g., bash shell, Linux file paths). The ordering of examples places PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) before Azure CLI, and the CLI examples also use Windows conventions. No Linux-specific tools or usage patterns are discussed.
Recommendations
  • Include Linux/macOS-specific examples, such as bash shell prompts ($) and file paths.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI and PowerShell modules are cross-platform, and provide installation instructions for Linux/macOS.
  • Show Azure CLI examples with Linux-style commands and prompts, e.g., $ az login --tenant <tenant>.
  • Avoid using Windows-only conventions (C:\>) in CLI examples; use generic or platform-neutral prompts.
  • Explicitly mention platform compatibility for all tools and commands.
  • Consider ordering Azure CLI examples before PowerShell, as CLI is more commonly used across platforms.

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 the Azure CLI (cross-platform) first. However, there are no explicit Linux shell (bash) or non-Windows tool examples for other steps, and PowerShell is featured as an alternative. The rest of the process relies on REST API calls, which are platform-neutral, but there is no mention of Linux-specific patterns, nor are there bash or shell script examples for automating the process. There is a slight Windows bias due to the inclusion of PowerShell and lack of Linux-specific guidance.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit bash/shell script examples for steps involving REST API calls, showing how to use curl or wget to make requests.
  • Include guidance for Linux users on installing and using Azure CLI, and clarify that all CLI commands work cross-platform.
  • Provide equivalent examples for querying service principals using bash/CLI pipelines (e.g., jq for JSON parsing) alongside PowerShell.
  • Mention that PowerShell Core is available on Linux, if referencing PowerShell, and clarify cross-platform support.
  • Ensure all automation steps are shown with both Windows and Linux tooling to improve parity.

Powershell Heavy 🔧 Windows Tools Missing Linux Example
Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by mentioning PowerShell as a primary automation tool for billing and subscription operations, without referencing Linux equivalents such as Bash or CLI. There are no examples or instructions for Linux users, and the only tooling mentioned for automation is PowerShell, which is traditionally associated with Windows environments.
Recommendations
  • Include examples using Azure CLI commands, which are cross-platform and commonly used on Linux and macOS.
  • Explicitly mention Bash scripting or provide sample scripts for Linux users alongside PowerShell examples.
  • When referencing automation, list both PowerShell and CLI/Bash options, and avoid implying PowerShell is the only or preferred method.
  • Add screenshots or instructions for Linux/macOS environments where relevant, especially for portal navigation or command-line usage.
  • Review API usage sections to ensure examples are not limited to Windows-centric tools and cover cross-platform scenarios.

🔧 Windows Tools Windows First Missing Linux Example
Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias primarily through exclusive references to Microsoft Excel for CSV report handling and troubleshooting. All instructions for importing and formatting CSV files focus on Excel, a Windows-centric tool, with no mention of Linux-compatible alternatives or cross-platform approaches. There are no examples or guidance for Linux users (e.g., using LibreOffice, OpenOffice, or command-line tools like csvkit or pandas). The portal navigation and screenshots are platform-neutral, but the tooling and troubleshooting sections assume a Windows/Excel environment.
Recommendations
  • Include instructions for opening and formatting CSV files using Linux-compatible tools such as LibreOffice Calc, OpenOffice, or command-line utilities (e.g., csvkit, pandas).
  • Add troubleshooting steps for CSV import issues in Linux environments, including handling European number formats.
  • Provide examples or screenshots for Linux users where applicable, or clarify that the Azure portal is web-based and accessible from any OS.
  • Mention cross-platform alternatives to Microsoft Excel for users who do not have access to Windows or prefer open-source solutions.

Windows First Powershell Heavy 🔧 Windows Tools Missing Linux Example
Summary
The documentation page exhibits several signs of Windows bias. Command line examples for both PowerShell and Azure CLI are consistently prefixed with 'C:\', which is a Windows filesystem path, and there are no examples or notes for Linux/macOS users. PowerShell is presented as a primary automation method, with no mention of Bash or other Linux-native shells. Installation and usage instructions for CLI tools do not address platform differences, and screenshots and workflow descriptions are tailored to the Azure portal, which is platform-agnostic but the command-line instructions are Windows-centric.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit examples for Linux/macOS users, such as using '$' prompt and relevant filesystem paths.
  • Clarify that PowerShell commands can be run on Linux/macOS (with PowerShell Core), and provide Bash equivalents where possible.
  • Remove or generalize the 'C:\' prompt in CLI examples to avoid implying Windows-only usage.
  • Add notes or sections describing any platform-specific installation or usage differences for Azure CLI and PowerShell modules.
  • Ensure screenshots and instructions do not assume a Windows environment unless necessary, and mention cross-platform compatibility.

Powershell Heavy 🔧 Windows Tools Windows First
Summary
The documentation page demonstrates mild Windows bias. While most API examples are platform-neutral (REST), in sections about role assignments and reservation splitting, PowerShell is mentioned explicitly and before Azure CLI. There is a specific link for PowerShell-based management, and splitting reservations is described as possible via PowerShell, with no mention of Bash or Linux-native tooling. Windows software costs are called out in related content, but Linux equivalents are less emphasized.
Recommendations
  • Ensure that Azure CLI examples are provided alongside PowerShell for all operations, especially for splitting reservations.
  • Explicitly mention Bash or Linux shell usage where applicable, and provide sample commands for Linux environments.
  • When listing tools or methods (e.g., role assignment), present Azure CLI and REST API options before or alongside PowerShell, not after.
  • Add links or examples for Linux-specific management (e.g., using Bash scripts or Azure CLI on Linux) in relevant sections.
  • Balance related content by including Linux reservation cost considerations and management guides, not just Windows.
