Summary
The documentation provides a detailed PowerShell script example for specifying a resource group for Azure DevTest Labs VMs, but does not include equivalent examples for Linux shells (such as Bash). The scripting section is labeled 'Use PowerShell' and only demonstrates usage with PowerShell, which is primarily associated with Windows environments. There is no mention of Bash, Azure CLI in Bash, or cross-platform scripting approaches. The ordering also places the PowerShell example before the ARM template and API sections, reinforcing a Windows-first approach.
Recommendations
- Add an equivalent Azure CLI example using Bash syntax to demonstrate how Linux or cross-platform users can accomplish the same task.
- Include explicit mention that the Azure CLI commands can be run in any shell (Bash, zsh, etc.), not just PowerShell.
- Reorganize the scripting examples to present cross-platform (Bash/Azure CLI) and PowerShell examples side by side, or clarify that both are supported.
- Where possible, use neutral Azure CLI commands in documentation, as they are cross-platform and widely used.
- Add a note or section for Linux/macOS users to ensure parity and inclusivity.
