Summary
The documentation provides comprehensive coverage for Azure portal (GUI), PowerShell, and Azure CLI methods. However, there is a noticeable Windows bias: PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) is given a dedicated section with extensive examples and scripting, and is referenced before CLI in several places. The CLI section is present and detailed, but PowerShell is often positioned as the primary automation method. There are no Linux/macOS-specific shell examples (e.g., Bash), and PowerShell is suggested for scripting and automation, which may disadvantage Linux users who prefer Bash or native shell scripting. The initial 'Get started' instructions for PowerShell include downloading PowerShell from GitHub, which is not native on Linux/macOS. The portal instructions are OS-neutral, but the scripting/automation focus leans Windows.
Recommendations
  • Add Bash shell scripting examples for Linux/macOS users, especially for automation tasks.
  • Explicitly mention that Azure CLI works cross-platform and is recommended for Linux/macOS users.
  • Reorder sections so that CLI and portal instructions appear before PowerShell, or present all scripting options together.
  • Clarify PowerShell installation steps for Linux/macOS, or link to cross-platform PowerShell docs.
  • Include notes or links for Linux/macOS users on how to adapt PowerShell scripts or use CLI alternatives.
