Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong bias toward Windows environments, primarily through exclusive use of PowerShell for scripting and automation tasks, references to Windows-centric tools and patterns, and a lack of equivalent Linux/bash examples. All automation and scripting instructions are provided using PowerShell, with no mention of Bash, CLI, or cross-platform alternatives. The documentation assumes the reader is using Windows or PowerShell, and does not provide guidance for users on Linux or macOS.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent examples using Azure CLI and Bash scripts for deployment and trigger management tasks.
- Explicitly mention cross-platform compatibility of Azure Pipelines agents and tasks, and clarify when PowerShell Core (which runs on Linux/macOS) can be used.
- Add instructions for installing and using Azure CLI on Linux/macOS, and show how to perform key operations (e.g., stopping/starting triggers) using CLI commands.
- Ensure that references to script files and automation steps include both PowerShell and Bash/CLI alternatives, or note when a step is platform-agnostic.
- Review all task instructions to confirm that Linux users can follow them without needing to switch to Windows or PowerShell.
