Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on PowerShell scripts for automation, with all scripting examples and pipeline steps using PowerShell. While PowerShell 7 is cross-platform, there are no equivalent Bash or shell script examples, nor is there guidance for Linux-native tools or patterns. The documentation also references Visual Studio Code (a Microsoft tool) as the primary editor, and does not mention Linux-specific editors or alternatives. This creates a bias toward Windows and Microsoft-centric tooling, potentially making it less accessible for Linux-first users.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Bash or shell script examples for key automation steps, especially for generating configuration files and interacting with Azure services.
- Include instructions and examples for using Azure CLI directly in Bash, where possible, instead of only PowerShell.
- Mention and provide examples for Linux-native editors (e.g., Vim, Nano) alongside Visual Studio Code.
- Clarify that all steps can be performed on Linux and macOS, and highlight any platform-specific considerations.
- Reference and link to documentation for using Azure Pipelines with non-Windows agents and runners.
- Consider providing a Docker-based workflow example for cross-platform parity.
