Windows First Powershell Heavy Missing Linux Example
Summary
The documentation page demonstrates mild Windows bias. While the Azure CLI is presented as the primary tool (which is cross-platform), there are several indications of Windows-first thinking: PowerShell-specific instructions are given equal or greater prominence than Bash, with tips for PowerShell users appearing before or alongside Bash guidance. There are no explicit Linux shell examples, and escaping/line continuation advice is focused on PowerShell. No Linux-specific tools or patterns are mentioned, and the examples do not show Linux file paths or shell commands outside Azure CLI.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Linux shell examples (e.g., Bash, zsh) for command-line usage, including file path conventions and escaping.
  • Provide tips for both Bash and PowerShell users, ensuring Bash/Linux guidance is not secondary.
  • Include examples of update files and handler properties using Linux file paths and conventions.
  • Mention Linux-native tools (such as jq for JSON editing) where relevant.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI is cross-platform and provide parity in troubleshooting tips for both Windows and Linux environments.

Powershell Heavy 🔧 Windows Tools Windows First
Summary
The documentation page displays mild Windows bias in several ways: PowerShell modules are highlighted as sample code for programmatic import, and PowerShell is mentioned as a primary method for scripting (with only a brief note that it works on Linux/macOS). Windows-centric tools (PowerShell, Storage Explorer) are listed before cross-platform or Linux-native alternatives. The tip about CLI line continuation syntax is helpful, but the overall emphasis and ordering favor Windows tools and patterns.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit Linux shell script examples for programmatic import, such as using Bash with curl or Python.
  • Mention Linux-native tools (e.g., rclone, s3cmd) for uploading blobs alongside AzCopy and Storage Explorer.
  • List cross-platform methods first, or in parallel, rather than giving Windows tools priority.
  • Expand the PowerShell section to clarify parity with Bash and other shells, and add equivalent Linux/macOS instructions.
  • Add troubleshooting and usage notes for Linux environments, such as file path formats and permissions.
  • Ensure screenshots and UI references are not Windows-specific, or provide Linux/macOS equivalents where relevant.

Powershell Heavy 🔧 Windows Tools Missing Linux Example Windows First
Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a bias towards Windows environments, particularly in its examples for requesting authorization tokens. PowerShell/MSAL.PS is featured extensively, with no equivalent Linux or cross-platform scripting examples (such as Bash/cURL or Python). The Azure CLI example is present, but PowerShell is given more detailed coverage. There is no mention of Linux-specific tools or workflows, and the documentation does not provide parity for users on non-Windows platforms.
Recommendations
  • Add Linux-friendly examples for requesting authorization tokens, such as using Bash with curl or Python scripts.
  • Provide parity in example coverage: if PowerShell is shown, also show Bash/cURL and/or Python equivalents.
  • Explicitly mention cross-platform tools and clarify which examples work on Linux/macOS as well as Windows.
  • Where possible, use Azure CLI as the primary example, since it is cross-platform, and supplement with platform-specific alternatives.
  • Review documentation for other areas where Windows-centric tools or workflows are assumed, and add Linux/macOS alternatives.

Windows First Powershell Heavy Missing Linux Example
Summary
The documentation page exhibits mild Windows bias. While Azure CLI examples are provided and Bash is mentioned, there is a clear tendency to reference PowerShell and Windows-specific patterns first or exclusively. For example, line continuation syntax is explained for PowerShell, but not for other shells. The supported browsers list starts with Microsoft Edge. There are no explicit Linux tool or shell examples beyond Bash, and no mention of Linux-specific troubleshooting or file handling. The documentation does not provide parity for Linux users in terms of examples, troubleshooting, or tool recommendations.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit Linux shell (e.g., Bash, Zsh) examples alongside PowerShell, including line continuation and environment setup.
  • List browsers in alphabetical or usage-neutral order, or explicitly mention Linux compatibility.
  • Add troubleshooting steps for common Linux issues (e.g., permissions, file paths, CLI installation).
  • Include references to Linux-native tools for viewing or manipulating logs (e.g., cat, tail, grep) in the log viewing/export section.
  • Clarify that the Azure CLI and Cloud Shell are cross-platform, and provide links or instructions for Linux installations.
  • Avoid Windows-first phrasing and ensure all examples and tips are equally applicable to Linux environments.

Windows First Powershell Heavy Missing Linux Example
Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a mild Windows bias. While it states that Azure CLI commands are intended for Bash (Linux) environments and recommends using Azure Cloud Shell (which is Linux-based), it repeatedly references PowerShell as an alternative and provides tips for PowerShell users (such as line continuation and escaping characters). However, it does not provide explicit Linux-specific examples for common issues (e.g., escaping characters in Bash), nor does it mention Linux tools or patterns beyond Bash. The guidance for PowerShell users is more detailed than for Linux users, and Windows/PowerShell considerations are mentioned before Linux equivalents.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Bash/Linux examples for escaping characters and common CLI pitfalls.
  • Provide troubleshooting tips for both Bash and PowerShell users, not just PowerShell.
  • Ensure Linux/Bash guidance is given equal prominence and detail as Windows/PowerShell guidance.
  • Mention Linux-native tools or workflows where relevant, such as using jq for JSON manipulation.
  • If PowerShell-specific tips are given, provide equivalent Bash/Linux tips immediately after or alongside.

Powershell Heavy 🔧 Windows Tools Missing Linux Example
Summary
The documentation provides detailed PowerShell examples for obtaining OAuth tokens using the MSAL.PS module, which is Windows-centric. There are no equivalent examples for Linux-native tools (e.g., curl, Python, bash) or cross-platform authentication libraries. The only non-Windows example is the Azure CLI, which is cross-platform, but the more advanced authentication scenarios are covered exclusively with PowerShell. There is no mention of Linux-specific patterns or tools, and Windows/PowerShell tooling is presented as the primary method for advanced authentication.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent examples for Linux users, such as using curl, wget, or Python requests to obtain OAuth tokens.
  • Include examples using cross-platform libraries like MSAL for Python, Node.js, or .NET Core.
  • Explicitly mention that Azure CLI is cross-platform and provide more advanced authentication examples using CLI or REST calls.
  • Avoid presenting PowerShell as the only or primary method for advanced scenarios; provide parity with Linux-native or cross-platform tools.
  • Where possible, add notes or links to documentation for Linux/macOS users to ensure inclusivity.

Windows First Powershell Heavy Missing Linux Example
Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows-centric tools and patterns. The supported browsers list places Microsoft Edge first, and PowerShell-specific instructions are included before Linux alternatives. While Azure CLI examples use Bash syntax, there is a notable emphasis on how to adapt commands for PowerShell, but no equivalent guidance for Linux shells beyond Bash. There are no explicit Linux-only examples or references to Linux-specific tools, and instructions for viewing logs are tailored to the Azure portal, which is platform-agnostic but often used on Windows. The configuration file paths are Linux-style, but the overall documentation lacks parity in addressing Linux environments or providing Linux-specific troubleshooting or usage notes.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit Linux shell examples (e.g., zsh, fish) and troubleshooting notes for common Linux distributions.
  • Include Linux-first instructions or examples where appropriate, such as using Linux-native tools for viewing or manipulating logs.
  • Add guidance for using the Azure CLI in Linux desktop environments, including installation and environment setup.
  • Balance PowerShell adaptation notes with equivalent notes for other shells (e.g., how to handle line continuations in zsh or fish).
  • List browsers in alphabetical order or explicitly state cross-platform compatibility to avoid Windows-first perception.

Summary
The documentation references PowerShell modules as a sample method for programmatic import, and links to PowerShell installation instructions. While it notes PowerShell is available on Linux/macOS, it does not provide equivalent Linux-native tooling or examples (e.g., Bash scripts, shell commands) for programmatic import. Additionally, PowerShell is mentioned before other cross-platform SDKs in the API section. The CLI section is Bash-oriented, but the only alternative syntax guidance is for PowerShell, not for other shells. The recommended upload tools (AzCopy, Storage Explorer) are cross-platform, but no Linux-specific upload examples are given.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit Bash or shell script examples for programmatic import, not just PowerShell.
  • Mention and demonstrate Linux-native tools (e.g., curl, Python scripts) for interacting with the REST API.
  • When listing SDKs and sample modules, avoid listing PowerShell first or exclusively; ensure parity by including Bash, Python, or other Linux-friendly options.
  • Offer example commands for uploading files using AzCopy or Storage Explorer on Linux.
  • Clarify that all major steps can be completed on Linux/macOS, and highlight any platform-specific caveats.

🔧 Windows Tools Powershell Heavy
Summary
The documentation is primarily Linux/Ubuntu-focused, with installation and usage examples tailored to Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS. However, there is a notable Windows bias in the section describing how to copy the Debian package to the test VM, where PowerShell and the scp command are referenced as the method for Windows users, without mentioning Linux or macOS alternatives. No explicit Linux-first or missing Linux example bias is present, but the inclusion of Windows tooling (PowerShell) and instructions for Windows users introduces a subtle bias.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent instructions for Linux and macOS users when describing how to copy files to the VM (e.g., using scp from a Linux/macOS terminal).
  • Clarify that scp is available on Linux and macOS by default, and offer guidance for Windows users who may not have scp installed (e.g., using PuTTY, WinSCP, or enabling OpenSSH in Windows).
  • Ensure that any references to Windows tools or workflows are accompanied by Linux/macOS alternatives, and avoid assuming the user is on Windows unless the tutorial is explicitly Windows-specific.
  • Consider reordering instructions so that Linux/macOS methods are presented before Windows-specific ones, or present them side-by-side for parity.
