🔧 Windows Tools Missing Linux Example Windows First
Summary
The documentation page demonstrates Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows-centric tools (Azure portal, Power BI) and omitting any mention or examples of Linux-native tools or command-line usage. Power BI, a Windows-first application, is presented as the only desktop reporting option, and there are no CLI, Bash, or Linux-friendly alternatives or examples. REST API usage is mentioned but not exemplified with cross-platform tools like curl or az CLI. The order of presentation also places Windows tools before API access, reinforcing the bias.
Recommendations
  • Add examples using Azure CLI (az) commands to retrieve reservation transactions, which work cross-platform.
  • Provide sample REST API calls using curl or httpie, demonstrating usage on Linux/macOS.
  • Mention and link to Linux-compatible reporting tools (e.g., exporting data to CSV/JSON for use in LibreOffice, pandas, etc.).
  • Clarify that Power BI is primarily a Windows application and suggest alternatives for non-Windows users.
  • Ensure that instructions and screenshots are inclusive of Linux/macOS environments where applicable.

Windows First Missing Linux Example 🔧 Windows Tools
Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows-based SQL Server VM registration guides and PowerShell scripts for usage analysis. No Linux-specific instructions, examples, or tools are provided, and all registration links point to Windows VM documentation. This may leave Linux users without clear guidance for managing Azure Hybrid Benefit for SQL Server on Linux VMs.
Recommendations
  • Include equivalent instructions and links for registering SQL Server VMs running on Linux (e.g., Ubuntu, Red Hat) with the SQL IaaS Agent Extension.
  • Provide Linux shell (bash/CLI) examples for gathering license usage and availability, alongside or instead of PowerShell scripts.
  • Mention and document any Linux-compatible tools or scripts for tracking SQL Server license usage in Azure.
  • Ensure all steps and walkthroughs clarify any differences or additional requirements for Linux-based SQL Server deployments.

Powershell Heavy Windows First 🔧 Windows Tools
Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: PowerShell is presented as the primary programmatic example for creating and editing budgets, with CLI and Terraform examples following. The PowerShell tab is listed first in the multi-tab example section, and the instructions for downloading and using Azure PowerShell are explicit and detailed. There is no mention of Linux-specific tools or shell environments (e.g., Bash, zsh), nor are there examples using native Linux scripting. The CLI example is generic and does not reference Linux-specific usage or considerations. Windows-centric tools and patterns (PowerShell, install-module) are mentioned before their cross-platform or Linux equivalents.
Recommendations
  • Present CLI (az) examples before PowerShell, as CLI is cross-platform and more commonly used on Linux.
  • Explicitly mention that Azure CLI works natively on Linux/macOS and provide Bash/zsh script examples where appropriate.
  • Add notes or examples for Linux users, such as installation instructions for Azure CLI on Ubuntu/Debian/RedHat, and how to run scripts in Bash.
  • Include references to Linux-native automation tools (e.g., cron jobs, shell scripts) for budget management.
  • Clarify that PowerShell Core is available cross-platform, but provide installation and usage instructions for Linux/macOS as well.
  • Ensure that screenshots and UI instructions do not assume a Windows environment (e.g., file paths, shell prompts).

Windows First Powershell Heavy 🔧 Windows Tools
Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for all deployment and management steps. However, PowerShell is featured equally alongside CLI, and PowerShell is a Windows-centric tool. There is a slight 'windows_first' bias in the variable assignment examples, as PowerShell syntax is shown and referenced, and the documentation mentions PowerShell tools (e.g., Get-AzActionGroup) before their CLI equivalents in some places. There are no explicit Linux shell (bash) examples, nor is there guidance for Linux-specific environments or scripting patterns. The documentation assumes familiarity with PowerShell and does not provide parity for Linux users beyond the CLI commands.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit bash shell examples for variable assignment and command usage, showing how to declare arrays and pass parameters in bash.
  • When referencing tools for obtaining resource IDs (e.g., action groups), mention the Azure CLI command before or alongside the PowerShell command, and provide example output for both.
  • Include notes or guidance for Linux/macOS users about environment differences, such as quoting and array syntax.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI is cross-platform and highlight its usage for Linux/macOS users.
  • Consider adding a section or tab for bash scripting, especially for multi-value parameters, to ensure Linux parity.

Windows First Powershell Heavy 🔧 Windows Tools
Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. The primary deployment method described is via the Azure portal, which is a GUI and most familiar to Windows users. Where command-line options are mentioned, Azure PowerShell is consistently listed alongside Azure CLI, and in some cases, PowerShell is referenced first (e.g., in the 'Deploy templates' link). The documentation refers to deployment via the Azure portal and PowerShell before mentioning Azure CLI or REST API, and the 'Deploy templates' link points to a PowerShell-focused page. There are no Linux-specific instructions, nor is there mention of Linux shell scripting patterns or tools. However, Azure CLI examples are present, which are cross-platform, and no explicit Windows-only commands are given.
Recommendations
  • Ensure that Azure CLI examples are given equal prominence to PowerShell, and consider listing CLI before PowerShell in sections and links, as CLI is more universal across platforms.
  • Add explicit notes that Azure CLI commands work on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and provide example shell scripts (bash) for common tasks such as deployment and cleanup.
  • Where the documentation references 'Deploy templates' via PowerShell, also provide a direct link to the Azure CLI deployment documentation.
  • In the 'Clean up resources' section, provide bash shell script examples alongside PowerShell, and clarify that the CLI commands are cross-platform.
  • Consider including a short section or callout for Linux/macOS users, highlighting any differences or tips for using the Azure CLI or REST API from those platforms.
  • Review the ordering of tools and ensure that cross-platform options (CLI, REST API) are not presented as secondary to Windows-centric tools (PowerShell, portal).

Powershell Heavy Windows First Missing Linux Example
Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows and PowerShell usage. All scripting examples are provided exclusively in PowerShell (.ps1), and instructions for running the script assume the use of PowerShell in Azure Cloud Shell, with explicit directions to select PowerShell over Bash. There are no equivalent examples or instructions for Linux users (e.g., Bash, Python), nor is there guidance for running the process outside of the PowerShell ecosystem. This creates a barrier for users on Linux or those who prefer non-Windows scripting environments.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent script examples in Bash or Python to support Linux users.
  • Include instructions for running the migration process using Azure CLI, which is cross-platform.
  • Clarify whether the process can be completed entirely in Bash Cloud Shell, and if not, explain the limitations.
  • Add notes or sections highlighting cross-platform compatibility and any OS-specific requirements.
  • Ensure that prerequisites and instructions do not assume Windows/PowerShell as the default or only option.

Powershell Heavy Windows First 🔧 Windows Tools
Summary
The documentation page provides examples for REST, Azure PowerShell, and Azure CLI when creating Azure subscriptions for EA accounts. PowerShell is highlighted as a primary method, with explicit instructions to use Azure Cloud Shell (which defaults to PowerShell). PowerShell examples and terminology (cmdlets, modules) are presented before Azure CLI equivalents. There is an implicit Windows bias due to the prominence of PowerShell and the lack of explicit Linux shell examples (e.g., Bash), even though Azure CLI is cross-platform. For MCA and MPA accounts, only REST API examples are given, but the overall pattern reinforces Windows-centric tooling.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit Bash shell examples for Azure CLI commands, demonstrating usage on Linux/macOS.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI is cross-platform and can be used in Bash, Zsh, or other shells, not just PowerShell.
  • Avoid presenting PowerShell examples before CLI or REST unless there is a technical reason; alternate the order or group by platform.
  • Mention that Azure Cloud Shell supports both Bash and PowerShell, and show how to select Bash.
  • Where PowerShell modules are referenced, provide equivalent installation or usage instructions for Linux environments (e.g., using pip for Azure CLI extensions).
  • Add notes or links for Linux-specific considerations, such as authentication methods, environment setup, or file path differences.

Windows First Excel Heavy Missing Linux Example
Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively using Excel for data preparation and calculation steps, with detailed instructions and screenshots for Excel. While it briefly mentions that other spreadsheet applications can be used, it provides no examples or guidance for Linux-friendly alternatives (such as LibreOffice Calc or command-line tools like awk, pandas, or csvkit). There are no Linux-specific instructions, tools, or screenshots, and the workflow assumes a Windows/Excel environment throughout.
Recommendations
  • Add step-by-step instructions for performing the calculations using LibreOffice Calc, including screenshots.
  • Provide examples of how to process the CSV data using command-line tools (e.g., awk, csvkit, pandas) for users on Linux or macOS.
  • Include a section comparing spreadsheet applications and their compatibility, with explicit mention of Linux-friendly options.
  • Avoid assuming Excel as the default tool; use more generic terminology and provide parallel examples for other platforms.
  • Add notes or links to community resources for Linux users who may prefer scripting or open-source tools.

Powershell Heavy 🔧 Windows Tools Missing Linux Example Windows First
Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively providing PowerShell-based examples using armclient, a tool most commonly used on Windows. There are no examples or guidance for Linux or cross-platform CLI tools (such as Azure CLI or curl), nor is there mention of Linux-specific usage patterns. The documentation implicitly assumes a Windows environment for API interactions, potentially excluding Linux users or those preferring platform-agnostic tools.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent examples using Azure CLI (az), which is cross-platform and widely used on Linux.
  • Provide examples using curl for REST API calls, showing raw HTTP requests that work on any OS.
  • Explicitly mention that armclient and PowerShell examples are Windows-centric, and offer alternatives for Linux/macOS users.
  • Reorder examples or provide parallel examples so that Linux/cross-platform options are presented before or alongside Windows/PowerShell options.
  • Include troubleshooting and setup instructions for Linux environments, such as installing Azure CLI or using curl.

🔧 Windows Tools Windows First Missing Linux Example
Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias primarily through exclusive references to Windows-centric tools (Azure portal, Microsoft Admin Center, Power BI, Microsoft 365 admin center) and workflows. There are no examples or instructions for Linux-specific tools, CLI usage, or cross-platform automation. All process steps, video tutorials, and API migration guidance assume use of Microsoft graphical portals or PowerShell, with no mention of Linux shell, Azure CLI, or open-source alternatives. This may hinder Linux users or those preferring non-GUI, cross-platform automation.
Recommendations
  • Add examples for using Azure CLI (which is cross-platform) alongside or instead of portal/PowerShell instructions, especially for billing, subscription management, and API migration.
  • Include references to Linux-compatible automation (e.g., Bash scripts, REST API usage via curl or Python) for common tasks such as invoice retrieval, subscription creation, and cost management.
  • Explicitly state that all major actions (contract acceptance, billing management, subscription creation, etc.) can be performed from Linux or macOS environments, and provide links to relevant cross-platform documentation.
  • Where PowerShell scripts or Windows tools are mentioned, provide equivalent steps for Linux users (e.g., Azure CLI commands, REST API calls).
  • Ensure video tutorials and walkthroughs include at least one example using Linux or cross-platform tools, not just Windows GUI portals.
  • Clarify any limitations or differences for Linux users, such as features only available in the portal or via PowerShell, and suggest workarounds or alternatives.

Powershell Heavy Missing Linux Example 🔧 Windows Tools
Summary
The documentation page for managing Azure Reservations demonstrates a Windows bias in its command-line examples and tooling references. The only CLI example for splitting a reservation is provided using PowerShell, with no equivalent Azure CLI (az) or REST API example shown. PowerShell is a Windows-centric tool, and its exclusive use in examples may disadvantage Linux and macOS users. Additionally, there is no mention or prioritization of Linux-native tools or cross-platform command-line usage, and the documentation does not provide parity for users who do not use Windows.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent Azure CLI (az) examples for all PowerShell commands, especially for splitting and updating reservations.
  • Explicitly mention REST API endpoints and provide sample requests where relevant.
  • Include notes or sections clarifying that all operations can be performed from Linux, macOS, and Windows, and provide instructions for installing and using Azure CLI on non-Windows platforms.
  • Where screenshots or UI instructions are given, clarify that the Azure portal is cross-platform and accessible from any modern browser.
  • Review other command-line or scripting instructions to ensure Linux and macOS users are not excluded or disadvantaged.
