Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. It exclusively provides PowerShell-based automation scripts for deploying Azure resources, with no equivalent Bash or Linux shell examples. The prerequisites recommend Visual Studio 2019 (a Windows-centric IDE) and Azure PowerShell, and the deployment workflow is described only in terms of PowerShell scripts. While some steps use Azure CLI (which is cross-platform), these are embedded within PowerShell scripts, and there are no standalone Linux/Bash instructions. Linux users are left to adapt the instructions themselves.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent Bash/Linux shell scripts for all deployment steps, especially for resource provisioning and automation.
- List cross-platform tools (e.g., VS Code, Azure CLI) before or alongside Windows-specific tools like Visual Studio.
- Clearly indicate which steps are cross-platform and which are Windows-only, and offer alternatives where possible.
- Include a dedicated section or callouts for Linux/macOS users, ensuring parity in setup and deployment instructions.
- Where PowerShell is used for automation, provide Bash alternatives or reference Azure CLI commands that can be run directly in a Linux shell.
