Summary
The documentation provides detailed instructions for moving an Azure SignalR resource using the Azure Portal and Azure PowerShell, with all CLI-based examples and scripts using PowerShell commands and referencing Windows tools (e.g., Notepad). There are no examples using Azure CLI, Bash, or Linux-native editors, and PowerShell is presented as the only scripting option, which may disadvantage Linux or cross-platform users.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent Azure CLI (az) command examples for exporting, editing, and deploying ARM templates, as Azure CLI is cross-platform and widely used on Linux and macOS.
  • Include instructions and examples for editing JSON files using cross-platform editors (e.g., nano, vim, code) instead of only referencing Notepad.
  • When referencing file operations or command-line steps, provide both Windows (PowerShell) and Linux (Bash) command examples.
  • Structure sections so that cross-platform or Linux-friendly options (Azure CLI, Bash) are presented alongside or before Windows-specific (PowerShell) instructions.
  • Explicitly state that the steps can be performed on any OS, and provide links to relevant Azure CLI documentation.

Flagged Code Snippets

1. To verify that the resources were created in the target region, use [Get-AzResourceGroup](/powershell/module/az.resources/get-azresourcegroup) and [Get-AzSignalR](/powershell/module/az.signalr/get-azsignalr):

    
  
1. To obtain region location codes, see [Azure SignalR Locations](https://azure.microsoft.com/global-infrastructure/services/?products=signalr-service). The code for a region is the region name with no spaces, **Central US** = **centralus**.

   You can also change other parameters in the template if you choose, depending on your requirements.

1. Save the *\<resource-group-name>.json* file.

1. Create a resource group in the target region for the target SignalR resource to be deployed using [New-AzResourceGroup](/powershell/module/az.resources/new-azresourcegroup).

    
1. Deploy the edited *\<resource-group-name>.json* file to the resource group created in the previous step using [New-AzResourceGroupDeployment](/powershell/module/az.resources/new-azresourcegroupdeployment):

    
> [!NOTE]
>
> After the deployment, if you wish to start over or discard the SignalR resource in the target, delete the resource group that was created in the target, which deletes the moved SignalR resource. To do so, select the resource group from your dashboard in the portal and select **Delete** at the top of the overview page. Alternatively you can use [Remove-AzResourceGroup](/powershell/module/az.resources/remove-azresourcegroup):
