Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias in its instructions for generating and sanitizing ARM templates for playbooks. All automation steps rely exclusively on a PowerShell script, with explicit references to Windows PowerShell, Visual Studio Code (on Windows), and PowerShell Core. There are no examples or instructions for Linux users, such as using Bash, Azure CLI, or cross-platform scripting alternatives. The documentation assumes the reader is on a Windows environment and does not mention Linux-compatible workflows or tools.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent instructions for Linux users, such as using Azure CLI, Bash scripts, or cross-platform PowerShell Core.
  • Explicitly state platform compatibility for the PowerShell script and offer troubleshooting or alternatives for Linux/macOS environments.
  • Include examples showing how to run the script on Linux (e.g., with PowerShell Core or Azure CLI), and clarify any prerequisites or differences.
  • Mention and link to cross-platform tools where possible, and avoid assuming Visual Studio Code or PowerShell is only available on Windows.
  • Consider providing Docker-based or cloud-based alternatives for users who do not have access to Windows environments.
