Summary
The documentation provides examples for Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell, but PowerShell examples are given equal prominence to CLI, and are included throughout. There is no mention of Linux/macOS-specific shell environments (e.g., Bash), nor are there any examples using native Linux tools or scripting patterns. The documentation refers to 'Azure PowerShell' and 'Azure CLI' as cross-platform, but does not clarify that PowerShell is available on Linux/macOS, nor does it provide any Linux/macOS-specific guidance or troubleshooting. The ordering of examples sometimes places PowerShell after CLI, but both are presented as primary options, with no explicit Linux-first or parity focus. No Windows-only tools (e.g., cmd.exe, Windows-only GUIs) are referenced, but the lack of Linux/macOS-specific context or examples may create friction for non-Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly state that both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell are cross-platform and available on Linux/macOS.
  • Add Bash shell examples for template deployment and resource management, especially for Linux/macOS users.
  • Include troubleshooting steps or notes relevant to Linux/macOS environments (e.g., file paths, permissions, shell differences).
  • Clarify that Azure PowerShell can be used on Linux/macOS, and link to installation guides for those platforms.
  • Consider ordering CLI/Bash examples before PowerShell to better reflect typical Linux/macOS user workflows.
  • Add a section or callout for Linux/macOS users, highlighting any differences or considerations.
