Summary
The documentation provides deployment and management instructions using both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell, but PowerShell is consistently presented as a primary or equal option, and there is no mention of Linux-specific shell environments or workflows. The use of PowerShell and references to PowerShell modules (e.g., Az.LabServices) reflect a Windows-centric approach. There are no explicit Linux shell (bash) examples or notes about running commands on Linux, and the documentation does not address Linux users' needs or highlight cross-platform parity.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly mention that Azure CLI commands work identically on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and clarify that PowerShell is optional.
  • Add bash-specific instructions or notes for Linux/macOS users, especially for file paths and environment setup.
  • When listing options (e.g., Azure CLI, PowerShell, Portal), present CLI (which is cross-platform) before PowerShell to avoid Windows-first bias.
  • Include troubleshooting or setup notes for Linux users, such as installing Azure CLI or using bash.
  • Where PowerShell modules are referenced, provide equivalent CLI commands and clarify that PowerShell is not required.
  • Consider adding a 'Platform considerations' or 'Cross-platform usage' section to explicitly address Linux/macOS workflows.
