Summary
The documentation demonstrates a notable Windows bias, especially in the CI/CD best practices section. PowerShell scripts are recommended for pre- and post-deployment steps, with explicit references to .ps1 scripts and instructions to use PowerShell Core in Azure DevOps tasks. There are no examples or guidance for Linux/macOS users, such as using Bash, Azure CLI, or cross-platform scripting alternatives. The documentation assumes familiarity with Windows tooling and does not mention Linux equivalents or alternatives.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Bash or Azure CLI scripts for pre- and post-deployment tasks, or clarify how Linux/macOS users can perform these steps.
  • Explicitly state that PowerShell Core is cross-platform, and provide installation and usage guidance for Linux/macOS environments.
  • Include examples or links for running deployment automation from Linux/macOS agents in Azure Pipelines.
  • Mention alternative scripting options (e.g., Python, Bash) where appropriate, and clarify any limitations.
  • Ensure that all critical automation steps can be completed from non-Windows environments.
