Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows and PowerShell usage. All examples and automation scripts are provided exclusively in PowerShell, with no mention of Bash, Azure CLI, or cross-platform alternatives. The prerequisites and instructions assume a Windows environment (e.g., checking PowerShell installation via 'powershell -command'), and only Windows/PowerShell tools and cmdlets are referenced throughout. There is no guidance for Linux or macOS users, nor any indication that the steps can be performed using other tools or shells.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent Azure CLI (az) examples for all major steps, as Azure CLI is cross-platform and works on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
  • Explicitly mention that Azure PowerShell can be installed and used on Linux and macOS, and provide installation instructions or links for those platforms.
  • Provide Bash shell script examples or at least command-line equivalents for common tasks (e.g., authentication, resource creation, DNS record management).
  • In the prerequisites, include instructions for checking/installing PowerShell Core (pwsh) on Linux/macOS, or suggest Azure CLI as an alternative.
  • Clearly state at the beginning that the guide is PowerShell-focused, and offer links to cross-platform or Linux/macOS-specific documentation if available.
  • Where possible, use neutral language (e.g., 'terminal' instead of 'command prompt'), and avoid assuming a Windows environment.
