Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and PowerShell examples for deployment commands. However, PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) is always presented after the Azure CLI, and there is no mention of Bash, Linux shell scripting, or cross-platform command-line environments. The PowerShell examples use the Az module, which is primarily used on Windows, and there are no explicit Linux-specific instructions or troubleshooting notes. The documentation assumes parity between Azure CLI and PowerShell but does not address Linux users directly or provide guidance for common Linux workflows.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly state that Azure CLI commands work cross-platform (Windows, Linux, macOS) and are recommended for Linux users.
  • Add Bash shell scripting examples or usage notes for Linux users, especially for multi-line commands.
  • Include troubleshooting notes or prerequisites for running Azure CLI on Linux (e.g., installation links, authentication differences).
  • Mention that PowerShell Core is available cross-platform, but clarify that the Az module examples are most familiar to Windows users.
  • Consider providing a Linux-first example in at least one section to balance the order of presentation.
  • Add a short section or note about using Bicep and deployment commands in WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) for users on Windows who prefer a Linux environment.

For the PowerShell deployment command, use [New-AzDeployment](/powershell/module/az.resources/new-azdeployment) or its alias `New-AzSubscriptionDeployment`.

For the PowerShell deployment command, use [New-AzResourceGroupDeployment](/powershell/module/az.resources/new-azresourcegroupdeployment).
