Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI (Bash) and Azure PowerShell examples for all command-line procedures, but PowerShell (Windows) examples are always present and sometimes more detailed. PowerShell is mentioned as a primary tool in prerequisites and installation steps, and links to PowerShell-specific quickstarts are given equal prominence to Azure CLI. In some cases, PowerShell instructions are more verbose or come before Bash instructions. There is no evidence of missing Linux examples, but the documentation assumes PowerShell is a common tool for all users, which may not be true for Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations
  • Clearly indicate that PowerShell is primarily for Windows users, and Azure CLI (Bash) is cross-platform.
  • Where possible, present Bash/Azure CLI examples before PowerShell examples to reduce perceived Windows primacy.
  • Add notes clarifying that PowerShell examples are optional for Linux/macOS users, who should use Bash/Azure CLI.
  • Review and streamline PowerShell instructions so they are not more detailed than Bash equivalents unless necessary.
  • Consider adding explicit macOS/Linux environment setup notes where relevant.
