Summary

The documentation provides a PowerShell script as the only CLI-based example for scripting the configuration of resource groups for DevTest Labs VMs. There are no equivalent examples using Bash, Azure CLI in Bash, or other Linux-native tools. The script invocation and syntax are Windows/PowerShell-specific, and there is no mention of Linux or cross-platform alternatives. The documentation implicitly assumes a Windows environment for scripting, which may exclude or inconvenience Linux/macOS users.

Recommendations

Add an example using Azure CLI in Bash (sh) syntax to demonstrate how to perform the same operation on Linux/macOS or cross-platform environments.
Explicitly mention that the Azure CLI commands can be run in any shell, and provide both PowerShell and Bash variants where applicable.
Avoid using only PowerShell-specific script invocation (e.g., .\ResourceGroup.ps1) and include equivalent Bash script invocation (e.g., ./resource-group.sh) if scripts are provided.
Where possible, use Azure CLI commands directly in documentation, as they are cross-platform, and supplement with PowerShell only if necessary.
Add a note clarifying that the instructions apply to both Windows and Linux users, and provide links to Azure CLI installation and usage guides for Linux/macOS.
