Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All command-line examples are provided exclusively in PowerShell, a Windows-centric tool, with no mention of Linux or cross-platform alternatives such as Azure CLI or SSH. The workflow assumes the use of Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), which is primarily a Windows technology, and does not provide guidance for connecting from Linux or macOS clients. The 'Next steps' section also lists PowerShell and Visual Studio (both Windows-focused) before mentioning templates, with no reference to Azure CLI or Linux-native tools.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Azure CLI commands for all PowerShell examples to support Linux and macOS users.
- Include instructions or links for connecting to RDP from Linux/macOS clients (e.g., using rdesktop, FreeRDP, Remmina).
- Mention cross-platform tools and workflows (such as Azure CLI, VS Code) alongside or before Windows-specific tools.
- Clarify that RDP files can be opened with third-party clients on non-Windows systems.
- Add a section or note addressing Linux/macOS administrator scenarios, including any limitations or differences.
