Summary
The documentation page exhibits a notable Windows bias. Most automation and scripting examples are provided exclusively in PowerShell, and references to Windows-specific tools (such as MARS agent, DPM server, and domain controller DNS Manager) are prevalent. Instructions for role assignment, DNS configuration, and private endpoint creation use PowerShell scripts and commands, with no equivalent Bash, Azure CLI, or Linux/macOS guidance. The Cloud Shell example defaults to PowerShell, and file paths use Windows conventions. Linux/macOS users are left to adapt these steps on their own, creating friction and potential confusion.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Azure CLI and Bash examples for all PowerShell scripts and commands, especially for role assignment, private endpoint creation, and DNS management.
  • Include instructions and screenshots for DNS configuration using Linux-based DNS servers (e.g., BIND) and macOS host files.
  • Reference cross-platform tools (such as Azure CLI) before or alongside Windows-specific tools.
  • Clarify that Cloud Shell supports Bash and show how to use it for relevant steps.
  • Use platform-neutral file path conventions or provide both Windows and Unix-style examples.
  • Mention and link to Linux/macOS agent installation and configuration guides where relevant (e.g., for MARS agent alternatives).
