Summary

The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by providing only PowerShell examples for listing available VM sizes, referencing Windows-centric tools (PowerShell, Visual Studio), and omitting equivalent Linux/CLI examples. The deployment instructions and tooling references prioritize or exclusively mention Windows workflows, with no mention of Azure CLI, Bash, or cross-platform alternatives.

Recommendations

Add equivalent Azure CLI (az) command examples for listing available VM sizes, suitable for Linux/macOS users.
Include Bash or shell script snippets alongside PowerShell to ensure parity.
Mention cross-platform tools (e.g., Azure CLI, ARM templates) before or alongside Windows-specific tools like PowerShell and Visual Studio.
Ensure deployment instructions and next steps reference both Windows and Linux-friendly workflows, such as deploying via Azure CLI or from a Linux environment.
Where possible, clarify that the service definition file and repackaging steps can be performed on any platform, not just Windows.
