Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows and Visual Studio users, with all instructions and examples assuming a Windows environment. Only PowerShell scripts are provided for deployment, and there is no mention of Linux, macOS, or cross-platform alternatives. Visual Studio (a Windows-centric IDE) is required throughout, and no equivalent CLI or editor-agnostic workflows are described. There are no bash, Azure CLI, or VS Code examples, nor any guidance for non-Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Add instructions and examples for deploying resource group projects using Azure CLI and Bash, which are cross-platform.
  • Include guidance for using VS Code (which is cross-platform) with ARM/Bicep templates, including editing, validation, and deployment.
  • Explicitly mention support (or lack thereof) for Linux and macOS, and provide alternative workflows for those platforms.
  • Provide sample scripts and deployment steps that work on Linux/macOS terminals, not just PowerShell.
  • Clarify which features are Visual Studio-specific and suggest equivalent tools or approaches for non-Windows users.
  • Consider restructuring the documentation to present cross-platform approaches first, or at least in parallel with Windows/Visual Studio-specific instructions.
