Summary
The documentation demonstrates several Windows biases: PowerShell is used exclusively for all deployment and management commands, even for Linux VMs; examples and sample outputs are shown in Windows/PowerShell environments; Windows instructions and examples are consistently presented before Linux equivalents; and Windows-specific tools and paths are referenced, while Linux alternatives (such as Bash, CLI, or Linux-native paths) are missing. There are no Linux shell command examples for deployment, tracking, or removal of extensions, and Linux users are expected to use PowerShell from a Windows host.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-native command examples using Bash and the Azure CLI (az) for all deployment, tracking, and removal steps.
  • Show sample outputs from Linux terminals, not just PowerShell on Windows.
  • Include Linux file paths and logging locations in parallel with Windows paths.
  • Present Linux instructions and examples alongside or before Windows ones to avoid ordering bias.
  • Clarify that PowerShell Core is cross-platform, but also offer Bash/Azure CLI alternatives for Linux users.
  • Add troubleshooting and verification steps using Linux-native tools and commands.
