Summary

The documentation exclusively describes managing Dev Box pools via the Azure portal UI, with no mention of command-line tools, scripts, or automation options. There are no examples or references to PowerShell, Windows tools, or Windows-specific patterns, but there is also a complete absence of Linux CLI, Bash, or cross-platform automation examples. The documentation implicitly assumes a graphical, portal-based workflow, which is more common in Windows-centric environments, and does not address Linux users or those preferring CLI-based management.

Recommendations

Add equivalent instructions for managing Dev Box pools using Azure CLI (az), which is cross-platform and works on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
Provide Bash script examples for common tasks (create, update, delete pools) to support Linux users.
Explicitly mention that all portal-based actions can also be performed via CLI or REST API, and link to relevant documentation.
Ensure screenshots and UI references are supplemented with CLI command blocks for parity.
If PowerShell examples are added in the future, ensure Bash/Azure CLI equivalents are provided alongside.
