Summary
The documentation provides both Bash and PowerShell examples for all major steps, but there are several signs of Windows bias. PowerShell examples are given equal prominence to Bash, even for tasks that are more naturally performed in Bash/Linux environments (e.g., base64 encoding, file manipulation). Some PowerShell examples use Windows-specific patterns (e.g., Out-File, [Convert]::ToBase64String), and certain instructions (such as removing carriage returns) are tailored for Windows. There are also minor inconsistencies, such as using 'export' in PowerShell, which is not idiomatic. The documentation does not provide any examples for native Linux tools or workflows outside of Bash, and does not mention Linux desktop tools or editors for file encoding changes. The portal instructions are Windows-centric, assuming use of Azure Portal and not mentioning Linux-native alternatives.
Recommendations
  • Prioritize Bash/Linux examples before PowerShell, as most orchestration and container workflows are Linux-first.
  • Clarify which commands are platform-agnostic and which require Windows-specific tools or syntax.
  • For file encoding changes, mention Linux-native editors (e.g., vim, nano) and how to convert file encoding in Linux.
  • Remove or correct non-idiomatic PowerShell usage (e.g., 'export' in PowerShell blocks).
  • Where possible, provide platform-specific troubleshooting tips (e.g., how to check file encoding on Linux vs Windows).
  • Add explicit notes about any steps that differ between Linux and Windows, especially for file manipulation and encoding.
  • Consider adding a section on using Linux desktop tools or command-line utilities for users who do not use Windows or PowerShell.
