Summary
The documentation references Azure PowerShell and the Azure Portal alongside Azure CLI for resource creation and configuration steps. While Azure CLI is cross-platform and used for all command-line examples, PowerShell and Portal are mentioned as alternatives before Linux-native equivalents (such as Bash scripting or ARM templates via CLI-only). There are no explicit Linux-only or macOS-only instructions, but no critical steps are Windows-exclusive. The documentation does not provide Linux-specific shell examples (e.g., Bash), but the use of Azure CLI ensures cross-platform compatibility.
Recommendations
  • Clarify that all Azure CLI commands work on Windows, Linux, and macOS, and recommend Azure CLI as the primary method for cross-platform users.
  • When listing options for resource creation (e.g., Key Vault), mention Azure CLI first, then Portal and PowerShell, to avoid Windows-first bias.
  • Remove or de-emphasize Azure PowerShell references unless a PowerShell-specific feature is required.
  • Add explicit notes or links for Linux/macOS users where relevant (e.g., uploading files to Cloud Shell from Linux/macOS).
  • Provide Bash shell variable examples alongside PowerShell-style variables where variables are used in CLI commands.
