Summary
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows and PowerShell bias. All command-line examples and automation scripts are provided exclusively in PowerShell, with no Bash, Azure CLI, or Linux-native alternatives. The documentation references Windows file paths (e.g., C:\<filepath>), and all scripting and automation guidance assumes a Windows environment. There is no mention of Linux tools or cross-platform approaches, and the use of Azure Cloud Shell is always in PowerShell mode. This could hinder Linux or macOS users who prefer or require Bash or Azure CLI workflows.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Azure CLI (az) commands and Bash scripts for all PowerShell examples and automation steps.
  • Include Linux/macOS file path examples alongside Windows paths where file references are made.
  • Explicitly mention that all steps can be performed from Linux/macOS using Azure CLI or REST API, and provide those workflows.
  • When referencing Cloud Shell, show both Bash and PowerShell options.
  • For downloadable scripts, offer Bash or Python alternatives where feasible, or document how to run PowerShell scripts on Linux/macOS.
  • Add a section or callouts for Linux users, highlighting any OS-specific considerations or differences.
