Summary
The documentation presents both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for each query, with PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) always included and often referenced in metadata and custom tags. Windows-specific terminology and tools (e.g., PowerShell, KB IDs for Windows updates) are present throughout. While Linux is supported (e.g., queries for Linux patching), Windows examples and terminology appear first and more frequently. There are no Linux/macOS-specific shell examples (e.g., bash, zsh), nor are there references to Linux-native tools or patterns outside of Azure CLI. The documentation does not provide parity for Linux/macOS users who may prefer native shell scripting or tools.
Recommendations
- Add bash/zsh shell script examples for Linux/macOS users alongside PowerShell.
- Ensure Linux-specific queries and terminology are presented with equal prominence and order as Windows examples.
- Reference Linux-native tools (e.g., curl, jq, grep) where appropriate for scripting and automation.
- Clarify that Azure CLI is cross-platform and highlight usage on Linux/macOS.
- Remove or balance Windows-centric metadata and custom tags (e.g., devx-track-azurepowershell) with Linux/macOS equivalents.
