Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell instructions for deploying ARM templates. While Azure CLI is cross-platform and shown first, the PowerShell examples (which are Windows-centric) are given equal prominence and detail, and PowerShell is included as a runtime option. There is no mention of Linux/macOS-specific shell environments (e.g., Bash), nor are there examples using Bash scripting or Linux-native tools. The use of PowerShell as both a deployment tool and as a runtime option may reinforce a Windows bias, especially since PowerShell is traditionally associated with Windows, despite its cross-platform availability.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Bash shell examples for deployment, especially for Linux/macOS users.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI commands work natively on Linux/macOS and Windows, and can be run in Bash, zsh, etc.
  • Note that PowerShell Core is available cross-platform, but provide guidance for users who may prefer Bash or other shells.
  • Consider mentioning Linux/macOS compatibility in the prerequisites or introduction.
  • If PowerShell is included as a runtime, clarify its cross-platform nature and provide parity for other runtimes.
