Summary
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias by providing PowerShell-only scripts for core setup tasks, referencing Windows-specific tools (PowerShell ISE), and presenting Windows instructions before or instead of Linux equivalents. Linux/Bash examples are only present for a few steps (app registration, web app URL update), while the main automation setup and workload zone configuration are exclusively shown in PowerShell. There is no guidance for performing these steps on Linux, nor are cross-platform alternatives (e.g., Bash, Azure CLI, or Python) offered for the initial configuration scripts.
Recommendations
  • Provide Bash/Azure CLI equivalents for all PowerShell scripts, especially for initial setup and workload zone configuration.
  • Avoid referencing Windows-only tools like PowerShell ISE; suggest cross-platform editors (e.g., VS Code) or terminal usage.
  • Ensure that Linux instructions are presented alongside Windows instructions, not only for minor steps but for all major automation tasks.
  • Explicitly state platform requirements and offer guidance for both Windows and Linux users throughout the documentation.
  • Where custom modules (e.g., SDAFUtilities) are used, clarify their compatibility and usage on Linux, and provide installation instructions for non-Windows environments.
