Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by providing only Azure PowerShell examples for resource creation and deployment, with no mention of Azure CLI or Bash alternatives. Windows-centric tools and patterns (such as Visual Studio and RDP extensions) are referenced, and Linux equivalents or cross-platform instructions are missing or relegated to secondary status. The absence of Linux or cross-platform command-line examples may hinder users on non-Windows platforms.
Recommendations:
- Add Azure CLI (az) command examples alongside PowerShell for all resource creation and deployment steps, including resource group, storage account, blob upload, and ARM template deployment.
- Explicitly mention that all steps can be performed on Linux, macOS, or Windows, and provide Bash shell examples where appropriate.
- When referencing tools like Visual Studio or RDP, also mention cross-platform alternatives (e.g., VS Code, SSH, or Bastion for remote access).
- Ensure that links to instructions (such as for creating resource groups or storage accounts) include both PowerShell and CLI options, or link to pages that offer both.
- Consider adding a table or section summarizing equivalent commands for PowerShell and Azure CLI for quick reference.
