Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias. All CLI/script examples are provided exclusively in PowerShell syntax, and file paths in JSON templates use Windows-style (backslash) paths. There are no Bash or Linux/macOS shell equivalents for any of the automation or CLI steps. The onboarding scripts are referenced as PowerShell (.ps1) scripts, with no mention of Bash or cross-platform alternatives. Windows file patterns and tools are mentioned first and exclusively, creating friction for Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations
  • Provide Bash/zsh shell equivalents for all PowerShell CLI/script examples, especially for az CLI commands.
  • Use cross-platform file path examples (e.g., forward slashes, or note both Windows and Linux path formats).
  • Clarify whether the onboarding scripts (.ps1) are required to be run on Windows, or provide a Bash version if possible.
  • Add explicit notes about Linux/macOS support and any limitations, including how Linux users can perform equivalent tasks.
  • Where possible, use az CLI syntax that works identically across platforms, and avoid PowerShell-specific parameter formatting.
  • Include sample Linux file paths in JSON templates, or note how to adapt them for Linux/macOS environments.
