Summary
The documentation provides three deployment options: ARM template (platform-agnostic), manual deployment with PowerShell, and manual deployment with Python. The PowerShell manual deployment steps are detailed and use the Azure portal, which is cross-platform, but the PowerShell example is presented before the Python example. The PowerShell section does not clarify whether it is Windows-only or if it can be run on Linux/macOS (PowerShell Core is cross-platform, but this is not stated). The Python manual deployment requires Visual Studio Code, which is also cross-platform, but there are no explicit Linux/macOS shell or CLI examples. There is a slight bias in presenting PowerShell (traditionally associated with Windows) first and in more detail, with no explicit mention of Linux/macOS alternatives or clarifications.
Recommendations
  • Clarify that PowerShell Core is cross-platform and can be used on Linux/macOS, not just Windows.
  • Add explicit notes or examples for Linux/macOS users, especially regarding prerequisites and any OS-specific steps.
  • Consider alternating the order of PowerShell and Python examples, or present them in parallel, to avoid the impression of Windows-first bias.
  • If possible, provide Azure CLI or Bash script examples for manual deployment, or at least mention their availability or limitations.
  • Add a brief section or note confirming that all steps can be performed from Linux/macOS, and highlight any exceptions.
