Summary
The documentation is generally cross-platform, using Azure CLI and Bash-style scripting, which works on both Windows and Linux. However, there is a notable Windows bias in the 'Deploy a template' section, where the primary link for creating ARM templates points to a Visual Studio Code Quickstart with PowerShell tabs emphasized. This prioritizes Windows tooling and scripting patterns over Linux-native alternatives. No Linux-specific tools or editors are mentioned, and the documentation does not provide parity in editor or scripting recommendations.
Recommendations
  • Provide links to ARM template creation guides using cross-platform or Linux-native editors (such as VS Code on Linux, Vim, or command-line JSON/YAML editors), not just Visual Studio Code with PowerShell.
  • When referencing guides or quickstarts, ensure that Linux/Bash tabs or instructions are given equal prominence to PowerShell/Windows instructions.
  • Explicitly mention that all CLI examples are cross-platform and can be run on Linux, macOS, and Windows, to reinforce platform neutrality.
  • Include examples or notes for Linux users where editor or scripting context may differ (e.g., file paths, environment variables, shell differences).
