Summary
The documentation page exhibits moderate Windows bias. Azure PowerShell is repeatedly referenced as the primary automation tool for deployment and advanced scenarios, with no mention of Linux-native equivalents (e.g., Bash scripting, Ansible, or Terraform). Windows operating systems are listed first and in greater detail than Linux, and Windows-specific requirements (such as SSU/SHA-2 updates) are described at length. In several tables and instructions, PowerShell is the only automation method given for tasks like cross-subscription cache storage setup and disk exclusion, while Azure CLI is explicitly marked as 'not currently supported.'
Recommendations
  • Add Linux-native automation examples (e.g., Bash scripts, Ansible, Terraform) for deployment and management tasks where PowerShell is referenced.
  • Where Azure PowerShell is recommended, clarify if and when Azure CLI or other cross-platform tools will be supported, and provide parity in documentation when available.
  • List Linux operating systems and features before or alongside Windows to avoid the perception of Windows-first bias.
  • Include troubleshooting and upgrade instructions for Linux with the same level of detail as for Windows (e.g., agent installation, kernel compatibility issues).
  • Where PowerShell is the only option, note any workarounds or alternatives for Linux users, and provide roadmap information if CLI or other tools are planned.
