Summary

The documentation provides detailed, step-by-step instructions for both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell, but the PowerShell section is more extensive, including environment setup, module installation, and additional context. PowerShell is a Windows-centric tool, and its prominence (with more setup detail and troubleshooting tips) suggests a bias toward Windows users. There is no mention of Linux-specific shell usage (e.g., Bash), and variable assignment in the Azure CLI example uses PowerShell syntax ($var = ...), which is not valid in Bash or most Linux shells. The documentation does not provide Linux shell (Bash) examples or address Linux-specific considerations, despite Azure CLI being cross-platform.

Recommendations

Add explicit Bash/Linux shell examples for Azure CLI usage, including correct variable assignment (e.g., storageMoverName="..." instead of $storageMoverName = "...").
Clarify that Azure CLI commands are cross-platform and provide setup instructions for Linux/macOS environments.
Balance the detail level between PowerShell and CLI sections, ensuring Linux users receive equivalent guidance (e.g., how to install Azure CLI on Linux, troubleshooting tips, etc.).
Avoid using PowerShell variable syntax in CLI examples; use syntax appropriate for the shell being targeted.
If PowerShell is included, also provide Bash alternatives for all relevant steps, especially for environment preparation and variable setup.

The `New-AzStorageMover` cmdlet is used to create new storage mover resource in a resource group. If you haven't yet installed the `Az.StorageMover` module:

The [Install Azure PowerShell](/powershell/azure/install-azure-powershell) article has more details.

To deploy a storage mover resource, you'll need to supply values for the required `-Name`, `-ResourceGroupName`, and `-Region` parameters. The `-Description` parameter is optional.
