Summary:
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows and Visual Studio users, with all instructions and examples assuming the use of Visual Studio (a Windows-centric IDE) and PowerShell scripts for deployment. There are no examples or guidance for performing equivalent tasks on Linux or macOS, nor is there mention of cross-platform tools or workflows (such as Azure CLI, VS Code, or Bash scripts). The exclusive use of PowerShell and Visual Studio, and the lack of Linux/macOS alternatives, demonstrates a strong Windows bias.
Recommendations:
- Add sections or notes describing how to perform equivalent resource group deployments using cross-platform tools such as Azure CLI and VS Code, which are available on Linux and macOS.
- Provide Bash script examples for deploying ARM templates, alongside the PowerShell scripts.
- Mention and link to cross-platform alternatives (e.g., VS Code with Azure extensions) early in the documentation, not just Visual Studio.
- Clarify which steps are Windows/Visual Studio-specific and offer parallel instructions for users on other operating systems.
- Include sample commands for deploying templates using Azure CLI (az deployment group create ...) as an alternative to PowerShell.
- Explicitly state the platform requirements and suggest alternatives for non-Windows users.
