Summary
The documentation page exhibits a notable Windows bias. Most automation and configuration examples are provided exclusively in PowerShell, with instructions to use PowerShell ISE and Windows-specific commands and modules. Linux equivalents are missing for the main setup scripts, and Linux instructions are only provided for a few isolated steps (such as app registration and web app URL updates). Windows tools and workflows (PowerShell ISE, Visual Studio Code, Windows command syntax) are mentioned first or exclusively, while Linux alternatives are not discussed or are relegated to secondary tabs. This could hinder Linux users from following the documentation effectively.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Bash/Linux shell scripts for all PowerShell examples, especially for initial setup and configuration steps.
  • Include instructions for running automation scripts on Linux environments, such as Azure Cloud Shell (Bash), Ubuntu, or other distributions.
  • Mention cross-platform tools (e.g., VS Code is available on Linux) and clarify any platform-specific requirements.
  • Avoid recommending Windows-only tools (e.g., PowerShell ISE) as the default; suggest alternatives like VS Code or terminal editors for Linux.
  • Ensure that all major steps (agent setup, repo cloning, variable group creation, etc.) have both Windows and Linux instructions, presented side-by-side or in tabs.
  • Explicitly state platform compatibility for scripts and modules, and provide troubleshooting notes for Linux users where necessary.
