⚠️ powershell_heavy ⚠️ windows_first ⚠️ windows_tools

Summary

The documentation provides three main approaches: Azure portal, Azure PowerShell, and Azure CLI. The PowerShell section is detailed and references Windows tools and patterns (e.g., PowerShell cmdlets, local installation instructions), and PowerShell is traditionally a Windows-centric tool, though it is cross-platform now. The PowerShell instructions and references (such as module installation/upgrades) mention Windows first, and the overall structure places PowerShell before CLI, which is more native to Linux/macOS users. However, the CLI instructions are present and complete, and PowerShell cross-platform support is acknowledged.

Recommendations

Make clear that Azure PowerShell is available on Linux/macOS and provide equal emphasis on installation/upgrade instructions for all platforms.
Consider listing Azure CLI instructions before PowerShell, as CLI is more commonly used on Linux/macOS.
Explicitly mention that all steps can be performed on Linux/macOS and provide links to platform-specific instructions where relevant.
Ensure that examples and instructions do not assume a Windows environment (e.g., file paths, shell usage).

⚠️ windows_tools ⚠️ windows_first

Summary

The documentation provides both Azure CLI and PowerShell options for prerequisite steps (e.g., listing subnets), but consistently mentions Azure PowerShell alongside Azure CLI and the Azure portal when introducing AKS cluster creation. PowerShell is referenced as an equivalent tool to Azure CLI for some tasks, but Linux/macOS users are not given Bash or shell script examples, and PowerShell is listed before Linux-native alternatives in some places.

Recommendations

When listing options for cluster creation, mention Azure CLI and Azure portal first, and clarify that Azure PowerShell is primarily for Windows users.
For commands where both Azure CLI and PowerShell are referenced (e.g., listing subnets), provide explicit Bash/shell examples for Linux/macOS users.
Add a note clarifying that Azure CLI is cross-platform and preferred for Linux/macOS, while PowerShell is mainly for Windows.
Where possible, avoid listing PowerShell before CLI or portal unless the task is Windows-specific.

⚠️ windows_first ⚠️ powershell_heavy

Summary

The documentation provides both Azure CLI (Linux/macOS-friendly) and Azure PowerShell (Windows-centric) instructions for critical tasks such as updating authorized IP ranges and retrieving kubeconfig credentials. However, the PowerShell instructions are presented immediately after the CLI instructions and are given equal prominence, which may subtly reinforce a Windows-first mindset. No explicit Windows-only tools or patterns are used, and Linux examples are present where relevant. The overall workflow is platform-neutral, as the Azure portal and Azure CLI are cross-platform.

Recommendations

Consider explicitly stating that Azure CLI commands work on Linux, macOS, and Windows, while Azure PowerShell is primarily for Windows users.
Where possible, present CLI instructions before PowerShell, or clarify platform applicability in section headings (e.g., 'For Linux/macOS: Azure CLI', 'For Windows: Azure PowerShell').
Add a brief note at the start of the troubleshooting section indicating that both CLI and PowerShell options are provided for user convenience, and users should choose the tool appropriate for their OS.

⚠️ powershell_heavy ⚠️ windows_first

Summary

The documentation is generally cross-platform and focuses on Azure CLI and Bicep, which are available on Windows, Linux, and macOS. However, there is a minor Windows bias in the 'Listing the CRDs in your cluster' section, where the example uses 'kubectl get crds | findstr dapr.io', a Windows/PowerShell-specific pattern. The use of 'findstr' is not portable to Linux/macOS, where 'grep' would be standard. This example is also presented without an equivalent Linux/macOS command. Additionally, the use of PowerShell-style variable assignment (e.g., $MY_RESOURCE_GROUP) in CLI examples may be more familiar to Windows users, though it is generally supported in Bash as well.

Recommendations

Provide both Windows and Linux/macOS command examples for filtering CRDs (e.g., 'kubectl get crds | grep dapr.io' for Linux/macOS).
Explicitly mention that Azure CLI and Bicep are cross-platform and provide links or notes for installation on Linux/macOS.
Where variable assignment is shown, clarify syntax differences between Bash and PowerShell if relevant.

⚠️ windows_first ⚠️ powershell_heavy

Summary

The documentation provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for all Azure-related operations, with PowerShell examples presented in parallel tabs. However, there is a slight Windows bias: PowerShell is a Windows-centric tool, and its inclusion alongside CLI in every section may suggest Windows as a first-class environment. The Azure CLI examples are cross-platform, but PowerShell is not natively available on Linux/macOS (though PowerShell Core exists). No Linux-specific tools or shell patterns are highlighted, and the documentation does not mention OS-specific considerations for running PowerShell or CLI. The order of tabs sometimes places PowerShell before CLI, and PowerShell is referenced in the prerequisites without clarifying cross-platform support.

Recommendations

Clarify in the prerequisites that Azure CLI is cross-platform (Windows, Linux, macOS), while Azure PowerShell is primarily for Windows but can be installed on other platforms via PowerShell Core.
Consider making Azure CLI the default or first example, as it is the most universally supported tool for cross-platform scenarios.
Add a note or section for Linux/macOS users about installing PowerShell Core if they wish to use PowerShell examples.
Explicitly state that all CLI commands work on Linux/macOS and Windows, and provide troubleshooting tips for non-Windows environments if needed.
If possible, add bash script examples for common workflows to further improve Linux parity.

⚠️ windows_first ⚠️ powershell_heavy

Summary

The documentation provides examples for Azure CLI, Azure PowerShell, and Azure portal for all major steps. However, Azure PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) is presented as a first-class option alongside Azure CLI, and in some places, PowerShell examples are shown before or with equal prominence to CLI. There is a slight Windows-first bias in the inclusion and prominence of PowerShell, but Linux/macOS users can fully complete all tasks using Azure CLI, which is cross-platform. No critical steps are Windows-only, and Linux parity is generally good.

Recommendations

Clearly indicate that Azure CLI is cross-platform and suitable for Linux/macOS users, while Azure PowerShell is primarily for Windows.
Present Azure CLI examples before Azure PowerShell examples, or explicitly note that CLI is recommended for Linux/macOS.
Add a brief note at the start clarifying tool/platform compatibility for new users.
Consider de-emphasizing PowerShell in favor of CLI in cross-platform documentation unless there is a specific PowerShell-only feature.

⚠️ windows_first ⚠️ powershell_heavy

Summary

The documentation provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell options for resource cleanup, but lists Azure CLI first and Azure PowerShell second. The prerequisites mention both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell, but do not show any Linux-specific alternatives or examples for PowerShell commands. All code and workflow examples use cross-platform tools (kubectl, curl, git), and there are no Windows-only tools or patterns. No Linux-specific friction is present, but PowerShell is mentioned as an equal alternative to Azure CLI, which may be less relevant for Linux/macOS users.

Recommendations

Make it clear that Azure PowerShell is optional and primarily relevant for Windows users.
Explicitly state that Azure CLI is cross-platform and recommended for Linux/macOS users.
Consider adding a note that PowerShell is available on Linux/macOS, but CLI is more common.
Ensure that any future examples or instructions using PowerShell are accompanied by CLI equivalents, with CLI shown first.

⚠️ windows_first ⚠️ windows_tools

Summary

The documentation provides both Linux and Windows examples for AKS network policy engines, but Windows-specific instructions (such as administrator credential setup and feature flag registration) are presented in detail and sometimes before Linux equivalents. Windows node pool creation steps are given their own section, with additional Azure CLI commands and preview feature registration, while Linux instructions are more streamlined. The documentation references Windows-specific tools (HNS ACLPolicy) and includes Windows node pool credential setup, but does not omit Linux examples or make Linux tasks impossible to complete.

Recommendations

Ensure Linux and Windows instructions are presented with equal prominence and clarity, possibly by grouping OS-specific steps together and explicitly labeling them.
Where possible, provide parallel step-by-step instructions for both Linux and Windows, rather than giving Windows steps more detail or prominence.
Avoid presenting Windows-specific steps before Linux equivalents unless required by feature availability.
Clarify which steps are OS-specific and which are universal, to reduce confusion for Linux/macOS users.
