Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Several command examples use PowerShell syntax and variables, especially in identity and role assignment steps, rather than pure Bash or cross-platform shell. PowerShell examples are provided without Linux/Bash equivalents, and the use of PowerShell variables and scripting patterns may be unfamiliar or unsupported on Linux/macOS. The backup instructions reference PowerShell scripts as part of the exported template, and the Azure Cloud Shell is mentioned as the preferred environment, which is cross-platform but often defaults to a Windows-like experience. There are no explicit Linux-only examples, and PowerShell commands are presented before or instead of Bash alternatives in key steps.
Recommendations
  • Provide Bash equivalents for all PowerShell command examples, especially for identity and role assignment steps.
  • Avoid using PowerShell-specific variable syntax (e.g., $variable) in examples; use POSIX-compliant shell syntax where possible.
  • Clearly indicate which commands are cross-platform and which are Windows-specific; group examples by platform if necessary.
  • Reference Linux tools/scripts in backup and restore instructions, not just PowerShell.
  • Ensure that all steps can be performed in a standard Linux/macOS terminal, not just Azure Cloud Shell or Windows PowerShell.
  • Add a note or section for Linux/macOS users, clarifying any differences in command usage or environment setup.
