Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias, particularly in the troubleshooting sections for workload orchestration. Most command-line examples are provided exclusively in PowerShell syntax, even for cross-platform tools like Azure CLI, Docker, and kubectl, which are commonly used on Linux. Windows-specific patterns (e.g., PowerShell variable syntax, ConvertTo-Json, Out-File, [Convert]::ToBase64String) are used throughout, with no equivalent Bash or Linux shell examples for the majority of troubleshooting steps. Only in the 'Troubleshoot service groups' section are both Bash and PowerShell examples provided, but elsewhere Linux users are left to adapt Windows-centric instructions themselves.
Recommendations
  • Provide Bash/Linux shell equivalents for all command-line examples, especially for Azure CLI, Docker, and kubectl commands.
  • Avoid using PowerShell-specific constructs (such as Out-File, ConvertTo-Json, [Convert]::ToBase64String) without offering cross-platform alternatives (e.g., jq, base64, echo/redirection).
  • When presenting commands, use tabs or side-by-side formatting to show both Windows (PowerShell) and Linux (Bash) versions.
  • Review and update file encoding instructions to mention Linux editors and tools (e.g., iconv, nano, vim) alongside Windows options.
  • Explicitly state cross-platform compatibility for all tools and commands, and highlight any OS-specific differences in usage or output.
