Summary

The documentation consistently presents Azure PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) examples alongside Azure CLI, often listing PowerShell before CLI or with equal prominence. All command-line examples are either Azure CLI or PowerShell, with no mention of Bash, Linux shell scripting, or native Linux tools. Installation and usage instructions focus on PowerShell and Azure CLI, which, while cross-platform, are more familiar to Windows users. There is no explicit Linux shell (bash/zsh) or macOS-specific guidance, and PowerShell is treated as a first-class citizen, reinforcing a Windows-centric workflow.

Recommendations

Add explicit Bash/Linux shell examples for all command-line operations, especially for scripting and programmatic evaluation.
Clarify that Azure CLI is cross-platform and provide Linux/macOS installation instructions or links.
When listing tools or examples, lead with Azure CLI (as it is more common on Linux/macOS) before PowerShell.
Include notes or sections for using these commands in native Linux/macOS environments, addressing any differences (e.g., file paths, environment variables).
Mention and link to relevant Linux-native editors (e.g., Vim, nano) or scripting approaches where appropriate.
Review and adjust language to avoid implying PowerShell is the default or preferred shell, especially in cross-platform contexts.
