Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively providing automation examples using Azure PowerShell, referencing only PowerShell and not Azure CLI or Bash. Prerequisites and instructions focus on PowerShell, and there are no examples or guidance for Linux/macOS users or for using cross-platform tools like Azure CLI. Microsoft account documentation links also point to Windows Server resources, further reinforcing the Windows-centric approach.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent Azure CLI examples for adding users to lab roles, as Azure CLI is cross-platform and widely used on Linux and macOS.
- Include Bash script snippets or instructions for Linux/macOS users where appropriate.
- Reference Microsoft account documentation that is not Windows Server-specific, or provide alternative guidance for non-Windows environments.
- In the prerequisites and tool installation sections, mention both Azure PowerShell and Azure CLI, and provide links and instructions for each.
- Ensure that the order of presentation does not always place Windows/PowerShell first; consider alternating or presenting cross-platform methods before Windows-specific ones.
