Summary

The documentation provides examples for the Azure Portal, Azure CLI, and Azure PowerShell. However, it shows a bias towards Windows environments by including extensive Azure PowerShell examples (a Windows-centric tool) and referencing PowerShell cmdlets throughout. The PowerShell examples are given equal prominence to Azure CLI, despite PowerShell being primarily used on Windows. There is no mention of Bash, shell scripting, or Linux-native tools, and no explicit Linux-specific guidance. The documentation also refers to the Azure Portal, which is cross-platform, but the command-line examples are limited to Azure CLI and PowerShell, with PowerShell being a Windows-first tool.

Recommendations

Add explicit Bash or shell scripting examples for Linux users, especially for automation scenarios.
Clarify that Azure CLI is cross-platform and highlight its use on Linux/macOS.
De-emphasize PowerShell as a primary automation tool unless parity is provided for Linux users (e.g., PowerShell Core).
Include a note or section about using Azure CLI in Bash on Linux, and provide sample commands with typical Linux shell usage (e.g., piping, jq for JSON parsing).
If PowerShell is mentioned, clarify that PowerShell Core is available on Linux/macOS, or provide links to installation instructions for non-Windows platforms.
Consider adding REST API curl examples, which are universally available on Linux.
