Summary
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows environments, specifically PowerShell. All command-line instructions are provided exclusively for PowerShell, with no mention of Linux or cross-platform alternatives such as Azure CLI, Bash, or Cloud Shell. The steps assume the user is running PowerShell on Windows, including instructions to 'open PowerShell as admin,' and do not provide equivalent guidance for Linux or macOS users. Windows tools and patterns are referenced throughout, and there are no Linux-specific notes or parity examples.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Azure CLI or Bash commands for all PowerShell instructions, especially for module installation and authentication steps.
  • Explicitly mention cross-platform options such as Azure Cloud Shell, which supports both PowerShell and Bash and works on any OS.
  • Add notes or sections for Linux/macOS users, clarifying any differences in command syntax, prerequisites, or permissions.
  • Avoid instructions that are Windows-specific (e.g., 'open PowerShell as admin') without offering alternatives for non-Windows systems.
  • Where PowerShell modules are required, clarify their cross-platform compatibility or provide alternatives if available.
  • Consider reordering examples or providing parallel instructions so that Linux/macOS users are not an afterthought.
