Summary
The documentation provides both Bash and PowerShell examples for all major steps, ensuring parity for Linux/macOS and Windows users. However, there are subtle signs of Windows bias: PowerShell examples are always present and sometimes shown first in certain sections (e.g., the order of tabs), and some commands (like base64 encoding) are shown in PowerShell but not in Bash. Additionally, the use of Azure Portal and ARMClient for status checks may be more familiar to Windows users. There are no sections that are Windows-only, and Linux/macOS users can complete all tasks, but minor friction exists.
Recommendations
  • Ensure Bash (Linux/macOS) examples are always shown first or equally prioritized in tab order and narrative.
  • Where PowerShell-specific commands are given (e.g., base64 encoding), always provide the Bash/Linux equivalent.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI commands work identically on Linux/macOS and Windows, and note any OS-specific nuances.
  • Where tools like ARMClient are used in PowerShell, suggest equivalent curl or REST API usage for Bash users.
  • Add explicit notes or links for Linux/macOS users regarding file encoding (UTF-8/BOM) and editors.
