Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI (cross-platform) and Azure PowerShell (Windows-centric) examples for resource cleanup, but the PowerShell example is presented alongside the CLI example, which can imply parity. However, in the pipeline YAML examples, only Bash scripting is shown for the Azure CLI task, and no PowerShell or Windows-specific scripting is used for pipeline steps. There is a slight Windows bias in the use of PowerShell for resource cleanup and the inclusion of Windows terminology (e.g., PowerShell tab), but overall, the pipeline instructions favor Linux (ubuntu-latest) as the default agent image and Bash scripting. No explicit Linux examples are missing, but the documentation could be more explicit about cross-platform compatibility.
Recommendations
  • Clarify that both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell are available on Windows, macOS, and Linux, and recommend CLI for cross-platform scenarios.
  • Provide explicit instructions or notes for running PowerShell commands on Linux/macOS (e.g., using pwsh).
  • Add a note that the YAML pipeline examples work on both Windows and Linux agents, and show how to switch the vmImage to windows-latest if desired.
  • Ensure that any Windows-specific tools or patterns (such as PowerShell) are not presented as the default or only option, and always provide equivalent Linux/macOS instructions when possible.
  • Consider listing Azure CLI examples before PowerShell examples to reinforce cross-platform parity.
