Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by providing only PowerShell and Windows-centric tooling (e.g., .ps1 scripts, Azure PowerShell, ARMClient with Windows file paths), with no equivalent CLI/bash/Linux examples. Instructions for scripting, automation, and role assignment are exclusively shown using PowerShell, and the use of Windows file path conventions (e.g., C:\<filepath>) further reinforces the bias. There is no mention of Azure CLI, Bash, or Linux-native workflows, and the examples and screenshots assume a Windows environment.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Azure CLI (az) commands for all PowerShell examples, including role assignments, private endpoint creation, and DNS management.
  • Include bash script examples alongside .ps1 scripts, and use cross-platform file path conventions (e.g., /home/user/file.json) where appropriate.
  • Show how to upload and run scripts in the Azure Cloud Shell using both Bash and PowerShell environments.
  • Add explicit Linux/Unix workflow guidance for tasks such as managing DNS, running nslookup, and editing host files.
  • Ensure that screenshots and instructions reference both Windows and Linux environments where relevant.
  • Mention that all steps can be performed from Linux/macOS as well as Windows, and provide links to platform-agnostic tooling documentation.
