Summary
The documentation provides detailed instructions and examples for managing Azure Storage Mover projects using the Azure Portal and PowerShell. All command-line examples are exclusively in PowerShell, with installation steps referencing PowerShell 7 and the Az PowerShell modules. There are no examples or guidance for using Azure CLI, Bash, or other cross-platform tools. This creates a bias toward Windows environments and users familiar with PowerShell, while Linux and macOS users are not provided with equivalent command-line instructions.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent Azure CLI (az) examples for all PowerShell command-line operations, including project creation, viewing/editing properties, and deletion.
  • Include installation instructions for Azure CLI on Linux/macOS, alongside PowerShell installation steps.
  • When listing command-line options, present Azure CLI (cross-platform) examples before or alongside PowerShell examples to avoid Windows-first bias.
  • Explicitly mention that all operations can be performed from Linux/macOS using Azure CLI, and provide links to relevant documentation.
  • Consider adding Bash script snippets or notes for Linux users where appropriate.

   ## Ensure you are running the latest version of PowerShell 7

   ## Your local execution policy must be set to at least remote signed or less restrictive

   ## If you don't have the general Az PowerShell module, install it first
   Install-Module -Name Az -Scope CurrentUser -Repository PSGallery -Force

   ## Lastly, the Az.StorageMover module is not installed by default and must be manually requested.
