Summary
The documentation provides both Azure PowerShell and Azure CLI examples for all steps, but the PowerShell examples use Windows-style paths (e.g., c:\Templates\azuredeploy.json) and are presented before the Azure CLI/Bash examples in each section. There are no explicit Linux/macOS-specific notes or examples, and the CLI section only briefly mentions Bash in Cloud Shell, without addressing local Linux environments or common Linux file paths. This structure subtly prioritizes Windows/PowerShell users and may cause confusion for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Alternate the order of PowerShell and CLI examples or present them side-by-side to avoid consistently prioritizing Windows/PowerShell.
- In CLI examples, provide explicit Linux/macOS shell commands and file path examples (e.g., /home/user/Templates/azuredeploy.json) to improve clarity for Linux users.
- Add notes or callouts for Linux/macOS users regarding any differences in command syntax, environment variables, or file paths.
- Consider including a table summarizing command differences or prerequisites for Windows, Linux, and macOS environments.
- Ensure that all references to file paths and shell commands are platform-agnostic or provide platform-specific alternatives.

Flagged Code Snippets
--- ## Upload private template to storage account Now, you're ready to upload your template to the storage account. Provide the path to the template you want to use. # [PowerShell](#tab/azure-powershell)
--- ## Provide SAS token during deployment To deploy a private template in a storage account, generate a SAS token and include it in the URI for the template. Set the expiry time to allow enough time to complete the deployment. > [!IMPORTANT] > The blob containing the private template is accessible to only the account owner. However, when you create a SAS token for the blob, the blob is accessible to anyone with that URI. If another user intercepts the URI, that user is able to access the template. A SAS token is a good way of limiting access to your templates, but you should not include sensitive data like passwords directly in the template. > # [PowerShell](#tab/azure-powershell)
