Summary
The documentation exclusively uses Azure PowerShell for deployment instructions and examples, with no mention of Azure CLI, Bash, or Linux-native workflows. File paths use Windows conventions (e.g., C:\MyTemplates\azuredeploy.json), and there are no Linux or cross-platform alternatives provided. This creates a strong Windows and PowerShell bias, making it less accessible for users on Linux or macOS.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent Azure CLI (az) examples for deploying ARM templates, using Bash syntax and Linux file paths (e.g., ~/MyTemplates/azuredeploy.json).
  • Mention both PowerShell and CLI as supported options in the introduction and prerequisites.
  • Where file paths are shown, provide both Windows and Linux/macOS examples.
  • Include notes or links for users on Linux/macOS, clarifying how to perform the same steps in their environments.
  • Consider reordering or parallelizing instructions so that neither Windows nor Linux is presented as the default or primary platform.
