Summary
The documentation provides detailed instructions for moving Azure Load Balancers using the Azure portal and Azure PowerShell, with all CLI examples and scripting focused exclusively on PowerShell. There are no references to cross-platform tools such as Azure CLI, nor are there any bash or Linux/macOS shell examples. Additionally, some instructions (e.g., editing exported templates) reference Windows-specific tools like Notepad.exe. This creates friction for Linux/macOS users, who must adapt PowerShell commands or use alternative tooling not mentioned in the documentation.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent instructions and examples using Azure CLI (az), which is cross-platform and widely used on Linux/macOS.
  • Provide bash shell examples for template editing and deployment, including use of editors like nano, vim, or VS Code.
  • Explicitly state that PowerShell Core is available cross-platform, but also offer guidance for users who prefer bash/zsh.
  • Avoid referencing Windows-only tools (e.g., notepad.exe); suggest platform-neutral editors or provide alternatives.
  • Include a section or tab for Linux/macOS workflows, ensuring parity in prerequisites, commands, and troubleshooting.
