Summary
The documentation exclusively uses Azure PowerShell cmdlets for all configuration steps, with no mention of Linux, Bash, or cross-platform alternatives such as Azure CLI. All example commands use Windows-style file paths (e.g., C:\NetworkConfig.xml), and there are no instructions or examples for users on Linux or macOS. The installation instructions and tooling references are Windows-centric, and there is no parity in guidance for non-Windows environments.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Azure CLI examples for all configuration steps, as Azure CLI is cross-platform and works on Windows, Linux, and macOS.
  • Include Linux/macOS file path examples alongside Windows paths (e.g., /home/user/NetworkConfig.xml).
  • Add a section or callouts for users on Linux/macOS, including any prerequisites or differences in workflow.
  • Where PowerShell is required due to classic model limitations, explicitly state this and suggest using PowerShell Core (pwsh), which is available cross-platform, with installation guidance for Linux/macOS.
  • Review and update all tooling references to clarify platform compatibility and provide links to cross-platform installation guides.
