Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for setting environment variables in Azure Container Instances, but it demonstrates a mild Windows bias. PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) is given a dedicated section, and the CLI examples include explicit instructions for Windows Command Prompt users before Linux/Bash users. There is no explicit Linux shell example for PowerShell, nor are macOS-specific considerations mentioned. The YAML section does use Linux containers and Bash, but overall, Windows tools and patterns are presented first or exclusively in some cases.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux/macOS-specific instructions and examples where relevant, especially for shell quoting and environment variable syntax.
- Reorder examples so that cross-platform tools (Azure CLI, YAML) are presented before Windows-specific tools (PowerShell).
- Add explicit notes or examples for macOS users, especially regarding shell differences.
- Clarify that PowerShell Core is available on Linux/macOS, and provide corresponding examples if relevant.
- Ensure that all instructions referencing shell syntax (quotes, environment variable expansion) include both Windows and Linux/macOS variants.
