Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias. PowerShell scripts are the primary method shown for ARM template deployment, with no Bash or cross-platform scripting alternatives. Windows-specific tools and patterns (e.g., AzureFileCopy, Windows VM images) are used and referenced first or exclusively. The copy/deploy workflow uses 'windows-latest' agents, and there are no Linux/macOS-specific examples or guidance. Linux users may need to adapt or seek alternative approaches not covered here.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Bash or cross-platform script examples for ARM template deployment.
  • Show how to use Linux/macOS agents (e.g., 'ubuntu-latest') for both PowerShell and file copy tasks.
  • Include alternatives to AzureFileCopy for Linux agents, such as using AzCopy or Azure CLI.
  • Present Linux/macOS examples alongside or before Windows examples to balance coverage.
  • Explicitly note platform compatibility for each task and script.
