Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. PowerShell is mentioned multiple times (e.g., deployment scripts, ARM TTK testing), and the only explicit tooling example for template testing is a PowerShell script. Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code are highlighted as authoring tools, both of which are most strongly associated with Windows. While Azure CLI and Bash are mentioned, PowerShell and Windows-centric tools are often listed first or exclusively detailed, and Linux-specific workflows or tools are not given equal prominence or examples.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit Linux/Bash examples alongside PowerShell, especially for deployment scripts and template testing.
  • Highlight cross-platform tools (e.g., Azure CLI, VS Code) before Windows-only tools (e.g., Visual Studio, PowerShell scripts).
  • Mention and link to Linux-compatible alternatives for template testing (e.g., running ARM TTK via PowerShell Core on Linux, or using other validation tools).
  • Clarify that Visual Studio Code is cross-platform, and suggest Linux-friendly editors (e.g., Vim, Emacs) where appropriate.
  • Ensure that all command-line and scripting examples are shown in both PowerShell and Bash where possible.
  • When listing deployment options, alternate the order or explicitly state cross-platform compatibility.
