Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. The PowerShell approach is presented before the Azure CLI approach, and all scripting examples for PowerShell use Windows-centric tools and cmdlets. The only explicit mention of a required tool is 'azcopy', which is cross-platform, but the PowerShell examples dominate and are shown before CLI. There is no mention of Linux-specific shell scripting, nor are there Bash or Linux-native examples for enabling the agent or managing DCRs. The CLI approach does use Bash syntax and references 'jq', but the overall flow and examples are still more Windows/PowerShell oriented.
Recommendations
- Present Azure CLI (Bash/Linux) examples before or alongside PowerShell examples to promote parity.
- Include explicit Bash/Linux shell script examples for all major steps, especially for enabling MSI, creating DCRs, and associating DCRs.
- Clarify that all CLI commands work on Linux/macOS and provide troubleshooting notes for common Linux issues (e.g., permissions, jq installation).
- Mention Linux-native tools (e.g., curl, wget) as alternatives to azcopy for downloading files.
- Add a table or section comparing PowerShell and Bash/CLI workflows for each major migration step.
