The documentation consistently references Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio as the primary development environments, with instructions such as right-clicking files and using GUI elements that are most familiar to Windows users. There are no explicit examples or instructions for Linux-specific workflows, terminal-based alternatives, or common Linux editors. The use of Visual Studio (not Code) for deployment is mentioned without Linux alternatives, and all command-line examples use Azure CLI, which is cross-platform, but the overall workflow assumes a Windows-centric development environment.

• Include explicit instructions for Linux users, such as using terminal commands to add bindings or edit JSON files, rather than relying on right-click context menus.
• Provide alternative deployment instructions using only Visual Studio Code or the Azure CLI, as Visual Studio is not available on Linux.
• Clarify that Visual Studio Code is cross-platform and provide any Linux-specific notes or troubleshooting tips.
• Mention and demonstrate how to use common Linux editors (e.g., vim, nano) for editing configuration files.
• Ensure all steps that reference GUI actions have equivalent CLI or keyboard-driven alternatives for Linux parity.

The documentation mentions Windows-centric tools (Azure PowerShell, Visual Studio) before cross-platform or Linux-friendly alternatives (Terraform, IntelliJ, Azure CLI). Azure PowerShell and Visual Studio are primarily Windows tools, and their listing ahead of Linux/macOS-friendly options may suggest a Windows-first approach. However, Azure CLI and Terraform are also highlighted, and no critical functionality appears to be Windows-only.

• List cross-platform tools (Azure CLI, Terraform, IntelliJ) before Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, Visual Studio) to avoid implying a Windows-first workflow.
• Explicitly note platform compatibility for each tool, e.g., 'Azure CLI (cross-platform)', 'Azure PowerShell (Windows/macOS/Linux)', 'Visual Studio (Windows/macOS)', 'IntelliJ (cross-platform)'.
• Provide example workflows or screenshots for Linux/macOS environments where relevant.
• Ensure that all critical tasks have CLI or cross-platform alternatives documented.

The documentation provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for retrieving connection configurations. While Azure CLI is cross-platform, Azure PowerShell is primarily associated with Windows, and its section is given equal prominence. The CLI section appears first, which is positive, but there is no explicit mention of Linux/macOS compatibility or alternative shell examples (e.g., Bash scripting). No Linux-specific tools or patterns are discussed, and the PowerShell section may imply a Windows-centric workflow for some users.

• Explicitly state that Azure CLI commands work on Windows, Linux, and macOS.
• Add example Bash scripts or usage patterns for Linux/macOS users, such as piping CLI output to jq for JSON parsing.
• Clarify that Azure PowerShell is available cross-platform, but CLI is generally preferred for Linux/macOS.
• Consider adding a note on how to install and use Azure CLI on Linux/macOS.
• If relevant, provide links to Linux/macOS installation guides for Azure CLI and PowerShell.

The documentation mentions Windows-centric tools (Azure PowerShell, Visual Studio) and lists them before Linux/macOS equivalents. While Azure CLI and Terraform are cross-platform, the emphasis and ordering may suggest a Windows-first approach. No explicit Linux/macOS examples or tools are highlighted.

• Explicitly mention cross-platform compatibility for Azure CLI, Terraform, and SDKs.
• Include Linux/macOS-specific tools or workflows (e.g., VS Code, Bash scripting) in the client tools list.
• Balance the ordering of tools so that cross-platform options (Azure CLI, Terraform) are listed before Windows-specific ones (PowerShell, Visual Studio).
• Provide example workflows or screenshots for Linux/macOS environments where relevant.

The documentation does not explicitly show Windows bias in terms of tools or ordering, but it lacks platform-specific examples or guidance for Linux users. It assumes environment variables are set and accessed in a platform-agnostic way, but does not clarify how to set or retrieve them on Linux versus Windows.

• Add explicit instructions or examples for setting and retrieving environment variables on both Windows (e.g., using PowerShell or Command Prompt) and Linux (e.g., using Bash).
• Clarify that the code examples are platform-independent, or provide notes on any platform-specific considerations.
• Include a table or section summarizing how to set environment variables in different operating systems to ensure parity.
