Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and PowerShell examples for setting environment variables in container instances, but it demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways. PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) is given a dedicated section with detailed examples, while Linux/macOS equivalents (such as Bash scripting or shell environment variable patterns) are not covered. In the Azure CLI section, instructions for Windows Command Prompt syntax are mentioned, but there is no equivalent guidance for Linux/macOS shells beyond a brief assumption. The portal instructions are platform-neutral, but overall, Linux-specific patterns and troubleshooting are missing.
Recommendations
- Add explicit Bash and Linux/macOS shell examples for environment variable syntax and command usage.
- Provide troubleshooting notes for common Linux/macOS issues (e.g., quoting, shell differences).
- Include links or references to Linux-native tools and workflows for managing containers and environment variables.
- Balance PowerShell coverage with equivalent Bash or shell scripting guidance.
- Ensure that CLI instructions are equally clear for both Windows and Linux/macOS users, including syntax nuances.
