Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by providing REST API examples exclusively in PowerShell, referencing PowerShell cmdlets and tools throughout, and omitting equivalent Linux/bash/cURL examples. Windows/PowerShell approaches are presented first or exclusively in several sections, making it less accessible for Linux or cross-platform users.
Recommendations
  • Provide REST API examples using cross-platform tools such as curl or HTTPie, alongside or instead of PowerShell scripts.
  • Include bash or shell script examples for monitoring pipelines, especially in the REST API and general scripting sections.
  • Clearly indicate when examples are Windows-specific and offer equivalent Linux/macOS instructions where possible.
  • Balance the order of presentation so that Windows and Linux approaches are given equal prominence.
  • Reference cross-platform tools (e.g., Azure CLI) in addition to or instead of Windows-only tools (e.g., PowerShell cmdlets).
