Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. PowerShell scripts are the primary example for deploying ARM templates, with no mention of Bash or cross-platform alternatives. The Azure PowerShell task is featured prominently, and references to Visual Studio and Windows-specific tools (such as AzureFileCopy) are made without Linux equivalents. YAML examples use 'windows-latest' VM images for key tasks, and there are no Linux shell script or AzCopy CLI pipeline examples. Linux users are not shown how to perform these tasks using native tools or Bash scripts.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent Bash script examples for deploying ARM templates, using the Azure CLI (az deployment group create) in addition to PowerShell.
- Include YAML pipeline samples that use 'ubuntu-latest' VM images and demonstrate Linux-native approaches.
- Show how to use AzCopy CLI directly in a Bash script for artifact staging, rather than relying solely on AzureFileCopy (which is Windows-centric).
- Mention Visual Studio Code as a cross-platform alternative to Visual Studio for ARM template development.
- Ensure that Linux and macOS users are given clear, step-by-step instructions for all tasks, not just Windows/PowerShell users.
