Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias primarily through the exclusive use of PowerShell scripts for advanced resource discovery and scenario analysis. While general guidance uses REST API and Azure CLI (which are cross-platform), all provided automation scripts for identifying impacted resources are PowerShell-based, with no Bash, shell, or Linux-native alternatives. The documentation refers to 'open PowerShell' and provides only PowerShell script download/run instructions, implicitly prioritizing Windows environments. There are no explicit Linux or macOS instructions or examples for these tasks.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent Bash or shell scripts for all PowerShell scripts, or at least mention how Linux/macOS users can achieve the same results.
- When referencing downloadable scripts, clarify if they are cross-platform or provide alternatives for non-Windows users.
- Instruct users on how to use Azure CLI or REST API for resource discovery tasks where possible, as these are cross-platform.
- Avoid phrases like 'Open PowerShell' without also mentioning terminal or shell for Linux/macOS users.
- Explicitly state OS compatibility for any scripts or tools, and link to cross-platform documentation where available.
