Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively recommending and referencing PowerShell scripts for pre- and post-deployment tasks, with no mention of Bash, shell scripts, or cross-platform alternatives. The provided script is a .ps1 PowerShell script, and there are explicit instructions to use PowerShell Core in Azure DevOps tasks. There are no Linux or macOS-specific examples or guidance, and no mention of equivalent tools or patterns for non-Windows environments.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Bash or shell script examples for pre- and post-deployment tasks, or clarify how to adapt the PowerShell script for Linux/macOS environments.
  • Explicitly mention that PowerShell Core is cross-platform, and provide tested instructions for running the script on Linux/macOS agents.
  • Include references to common Linux tools (e.g., Azure CLI, Bash) where appropriate, and show parity in examples.
  • Reorder or balance documentation sections so that Linux/macOS options are mentioned alongside Windows/PowerShell, not only after or as an afterthought.
  • Add a note or section addressing cross-platform CI/CD agent support, including any limitations or best practices for Linux-based agents.
