Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and PowerShell examples for all operations, but the PowerShell sections rely on ARMClient, a tool that is Windows-centric and not natively available on Linux. There are no examples using common Linux-native tools (such as curl or httpie) for REST operations, and no mention of how to perform the PowerShell steps on Linux or via cross-platform alternatives. This creates a bias towards Windows users in the PowerShell sections and omits Linux-native workflows for REST calls.
Recommendations
  • Add Linux-native examples for REST operations, such as using curl or httpie, especially in sections where ARMClient is recommended.
  • Clarify whether ARMClient can be used on Linux (e.g., via .NET Core or Mono), or suggest cross-platform alternatives.
  • In the PowerShell sections, note that PowerShell 7 is cross-platform and provide instructions for installing and using it on Linux and macOS.
  • Consider including Bash script examples for key operations, or at least mention how the Azure CLI commands can be run on Linux/macOS.
  • Wherever a Windows-specific tool is recommended, provide a Linux equivalent or explicitly state the limitations.

# [PowerShell](#tab/azure-powershell)

This example prompts you to enter a resource group, location, and provider's function app name. The names are stored in variables that are used in other commands. The [New-AzResourceGroup](/powershell/module/az.resources/new-azresourcegroup) and [New-AzResourceGroupDeployment](/powershell/module/az.resources/new-azresourcegroupdeployment) commands deploy the resources.
