windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments, with exclusive use of Azure PowerShell tasks and PowerShell scripting. There are no examples or instructions for Linux users, such as using Azure CLI, Bash scripts, or cross-platform automation tools. The sample configuration and image paths also reference only Windows images, and all screenshots and workflow steps assume a Windows-centric toolchain.
Recommendations:
- Provide parallel examples using Azure CLI and Bash scripts for Linux/macOS users alongside PowerShell examples.
- Include instructions for adding Azure CLI tasks in Azure DevOps build definitions.
- Show sample labs.json entries and image paths for popular Linux distributions (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS) in addition to Windows images.
- Add screenshots and workflow steps that demonstrate the process on non-Windows platforms or using cross-platform tools.
- Explicitly mention that the process can be performed from Linux/macOS environments and provide any necessary prerequisites or differences.
