Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows and PowerShell bias. All scripting examples use PowerShell (.ps1) scripts, and the only script-based deployment method shown is via Azure PowerShell. The 'Copy and deploy' task examples use the 'windows-latest' agent pool, and there is no mention or example of using Bash, Linux agents, or cross-platform scripting. Windows tools and patterns (such as Visual Studio project scripts and PowerShell) are referenced exclusively or before any Linux alternatives, with no Linux/Unix shell or CLI equivalents provided.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent Bash or Azure CLI examples for deploying ARM templates, especially for users on Linux or macOS.
- Demonstrate the use of 'ubuntu-latest' or other Linux agent pools in the 'Copy and deploy' section, not just in the PowerShell example.
- Reference cross-platform tools (e.g., AzCopy, Azure CLI) and show how to use them in YAML pipelines, including sample scripts.
- Mention and link to documentation for running scripts on Linux/macOS agents, and clarify any differences or limitations.
- Balance references to Visual Studio and PowerShell with alternatives like VS Code and Bash/Azure CLI workflows.
