Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments and PowerShell usage. Windows clients and PowerShell are assumed as the default throughout, with explicit instructions and examples provided only for Windows and PowerShell interfaces. There are no equivalent Linux or bash examples, and Linux/macOS client workflows are not described, despite the mention that other OSes are supported. All command-line examples use PowerShell syntax, and Windows tooling is referenced exclusively.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel instructions and examples for Linux/macOS clients, including bash/zsh shell commands.
  • Include az CLI and kubectl command examples in bash syntax, not just PowerShell.
  • Explicitly document how to connect to the device and run required commands from Linux/macOS clients.
  • Mention and demonstrate any differences in prerequisites or setup for non-Windows environments.
  • Avoid assuming Windows as the default client; structure the documentation to present both Windows and Linux/macOS workflows equally, or provide a clear OS selection at the start.
