Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias primarily through its references to Azure PowerShell and PowerShell scripts as the main example for automation and scripting. There is no mention of Bash, Linux shell scripts, or cross-platform alternatives. The only scripting examples referenced are PowerShell and DSC, both Windows-centric technologies. No Linux-specific tools, patterns, or examples are provided, nor is there guidance for users working in Linux environments.
Recommendations
  • Include examples and references for Bash scripts and Linux shell scripting alongside PowerShell.
  • Mention cross-platform tools and workflows, such as Azure CLI, which work natively on Linux and macOS.
  • Provide guidance or links for Linux users on how to author and use artifacts and templates with Linux-based scripts.
  • Clarify that DevTest Labs supports both Windows and Linux VMs, and provide parity in documentation for both platforms.
  • Add sample repository structures or templates that include Linux-oriented resources (e.g., shell scripts, Ansible playbooks).
