Summary
The documentation provides both Bash and PowerShell examples for every command, ensuring cross-platform coverage. However, PowerShell (and thus Windows) examples are consistently present and, in some sections (notably the 'Deploy front end application'), the PowerShell instructions are more verbose and detailed than the Bash equivalents. The PowerShell workflow uses more Azure PowerShell-specific cmdlets and objects, which are primarily relevant to Windows users. Bash examples are generally simpler and use Azure CLI directly, but the PowerShell sections may give the impression of Windows primacy due to their length and detail.
Recommendations
  • Ensure Bash and PowerShell instructions are equally detailed, especially in complex deployment steps.
  • Add explicit notes clarifying that Bash instructions are suitable for Linux and macOS users, and PowerShell for Windows users.
  • Where possible, provide parity in workflow complexity between Bash and PowerShell, so Linux users do not feel their instructions are less complete.
  • Consider including a table or section summarizing cross-platform command equivalence for quick reference.
  • Avoid using advanced PowerShell-specific patterns (like custom object creation) unless a Bash/Linux equivalent is also provided or explained.
