Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. The core deployment script example is written exclusively in PowerShell, which is primarily a Windows-centric scripting language (despite its cross-platform support, most users associate it with Windows). The template resource uses 'kind: AzurePowerShell', and the script content is PowerShell-only, with no Bash or cross-platform alternatives. PowerShell examples and escape rules are discussed in detail, while Linux-native scripting (e.g., Bash) is not mentioned. The CLI examples are present for some steps, but the main deployment script and troubleshooting steps are PowerShell-only. Windows tools and patterns (PowerShell, Visual Studio Code, Azure PowerShell modules) are mentioned before or instead of Linux equivalents. There is no example of using Bash for the deployment script, nor any discussion of Linux-specific troubleshooting or scripting.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Bash script examples for the deployment script resource (using 'kind: AzureCLI').
  • Discuss Bash-specific quoting and escape rules alongside PowerShell.
  • Include troubleshooting steps for Bash-based deployment scripts, not just PowerShell.
  • Mention Linux-native tools and editors (e.g., Vim, nano) as alternatives to Visual Studio Code.
  • Clarify cross-platform support for deployment scripts and explicitly state when only PowerShell is supported.
  • Where possible, alternate the order of presenting CLI and PowerShell examples, or present them side-by-side.
  • Add links to documentation about using Bash in deployment scripts and working with outputs from Bash scripts.
