Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias, primarily through exclusive use of PowerShell for scripting and automation tasks, references to Windows-centric tools (PowerShell modules, .ps1 scripts), and lack of any Linux or cross-platform alternatives. All example scripts and instructions assume a Windows environment, with no mention of Bash, CLI, or other Linux-native approaches. This can hinder Linux users or those running Azure DevOps agents on non-Windows platforms.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Bash or Azure CLI examples for all PowerShell scripts, especially for stopping and starting triggers.
  • Clarify which steps are platform-agnostic and which require Windows-specific tools, and offer alternatives where possible.
  • Explicitly mention support for Linux agents in Azure Pipelines and provide guidance for running tasks on Linux/macOS.
  • Reference cross-platform modules (e.g., PowerShell Core, Azure CLI) and show how to use them in both Windows and Linux environments.
  • Add notes or sections highlighting any limitations or differences when using Linux agents, and how to address them.
