Summary
The documentation provides both Bash and PowerShell examples for all major steps, ensuring cross-platform coverage. However, there are signs of Windows bias: PowerShell examples are given equal prominence to Bash, even for tasks that are not Windows-specific (e.g., Docker, kubectl, az CLI, which are cross-platform). Some PowerShell examples use Windows-specific patterns (e.g., Out-File, [Convert]::ToBase64String), and the instructions for editing files mention UTF-8 BOM encoding, which is primarily a Windows concern. There are no Linux-specific troubleshooting notes, and some PowerShell commands (e.g., armclient) are Windows-centric without Linux equivalents. The documentation does not provide explicit Linux-only examples or address Linux-specific edge cases.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit notes or troubleshooting sections for Linux users, such as handling file permissions, line endings, or common issues with az CLI, Docker, or kubectl on Linux.
  • Where PowerShell is used for file manipulation or encoding, provide equivalent Bash/Linux commands (e.g., for base64 encoding, file writing, or JSON formatting).
  • Clarify that PowerShell examples are intended for Windows users, and Bash for Linux/macOS, to avoid confusion.
  • If referencing tools like armclient, mention Linux alternatives or note cross-platform compatibility.
  • Include Linux-specific tips for editing files (e.g., using vim, nano, or sed for encoding changes) and troubleshooting UTF-8/BOM issues.
  • Consider providing a 'Linux Quick Start' or 'Linux-specific considerations' section for users deploying on Linux edge clusters.
