Summary
The documentation is heavily PowerShell-centric, requiring PowerShell for all platforms (Windows, Linux, macOS) and providing only PowerShell-based usage examples. Windows installation instructions are listed first, and Windows-specific concepts (such as execution policy) are referenced throughout. There are no examples using native Linux tools or shell scripting, nor is there mention of alternative Linux-first workflows.
Recommendations
  • Provide examples using native Linux shell tools (e.g., bash scripts) where possible, or clarify if PowerShell is the only supported method.
  • Consider listing Linux installation instructions before or alongside Windows to avoid implicit prioritization.
  • If PowerShell is a strict requirement, explicitly state this early in the documentation and explain why.
  • Offer guidance on integrating the toolkit with common Linux CI/CD tools (e.g., shell scripts, cron jobs) in addition to Azure Pipelines.
  • Reference Linux-specific patterns for file extraction, navigation, and permission handling, not just Windows-centric approaches.
  • If feasible, develop and document a cross-platform CLI wrapper or native Linux tool for ARM template testing.
