Summary
The documentation demonstrates a notable Windows bias. While Azure CLI examples are provided (which are cross-platform), there is a heavy emphasis on PowerShell, including a dedicated automation section that only uses PowerShell modules and commands. Prerequisites and automation steps explicitly require PowerShell and Azure PowerShell modules, with no mention of Bash, shell scripts, or Linux-native automation. Additionally, the upgrade process for Basic to Standard Load Balancer is linked only to a PowerShell-based guide. There are no Linux/macOS-specific instructions or alternative automation paths.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Bash/shell script automation examples for Linux/macOS users, especially for the automation section.
  • Include instructions for installing and using Azure CLI for all steps where PowerShell is currently required.
  • Link to or create documentation for upgrading Load Balancer SKU using Azure CLI or REST API, not just PowerShell.
  • Explicitly state that Azure CLI commands work cross-platform and highlight any OS-specific considerations.
  • Where PowerShell modules are referenced, offer alternatives or note their (in)compatibility with PowerShell Core on Linux/macOS.
