Summary
The documentation demonstrates a notable Windows bias. All deployment and resource management examples use PowerShell cmdlets (e.g., New-AzResourceGroup, Get-AzPublicIpAddress), with no mention of Azure CLI, Bash, or cross-platform alternatives. Even basic network testing is shown with Windows command prompt syntax (e.g., ping from C:\>). There are no Linux/macOS-specific instructions or examples, and PowerShell is presented as the default/only method for template deployment.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Azure CLI (az) commands alongside PowerShell for all resource group, deployment, and resource management steps.
  • Include Bash shell examples for network testing (e.g., using ping from a Linux/macOS terminal).
  • Explicitly state that both PowerShell and Azure CLI can be used, and link to Azure CLI documentation.
  • Where possible, use platform-agnostic language and tools in code snippets and instructions.
  • Add a note clarifying that the instructions are valid for all platforms, and highlight any platform-specific differences.
