Summary
The documentation exhibits Windows bias in several areas. The example for installing kubectl uses 'winget', a Windows-only package manager, with no Linux/macOS alternative. The file extraction example under the Bash tab uses 'Expand-Archive', which is a PowerShell/Windows command, not a native Bash/Linux tool. There are no Linux/macOS-specific instructions for these steps, and Windows-centric tools and paths (e.g., 'C:\path\to\archive.zip') are used throughout. While Azure CLI and kubectl are cross-platform, the documentation does not provide parity for Linux/macOS users in critical setup steps.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux/macOS alternatives for installing kubectl, such as 'curl' or 'apt/yum/brew' commands.
  • Replace 'Expand-Archive' in Bash examples with 'unzip' or 'tar' commands for Linux/macOS users.
  • Use generic file paths (e.g., '/home/user/archive.zip') in Bash examples instead of Windows-style paths.
  • Clearly indicate which commands are Windows-specific and provide equivalent commands for other platforms.
  • Add a section or tab for Linux/macOS users where needed, especially for installation and file extraction steps.
