Summary
The documentation page is heavily biased toward Windows and PowerShell usage. Nearly all CLI examples use PowerShell cmdlets, with no Bash, Azure CLI, or Linux shell equivalents provided. Even REST API and ARM template sections rely on PowerShell for invocation and authentication. The order of presentation consistently puts PowerShell/Windows-centric approaches first, and there is no mention of Linux-specific tooling or cross-platform alternatives. Python is only briefly mentioned for runbooks, but not for setup or deployment tasks.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent Azure CLI (az) examples for all PowerShell cmdlets, especially for resource creation, role assignment, and identity management.
  • Provide Bash or shell script examples for REST API calls, using curl or httpie, and show how to obtain access tokens on Linux/macOS.
  • Include instructions for deploying ARM templates using Azure CLI (az deployment group create) and not just PowerShell.
  • Clearly indicate which steps and scripts are cross-platform and which are Windows-specific.
  • Consider reordering examples so that platform-neutral or cross-platform methods (portal, REST API, ARM template, Azure CLI) are presented before PowerShell.
  • Add troubleshooting and verification steps for Linux/macOS environments.
