Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by using Windows file paths (e.g., c:\Templates\deployTS\azuredeploy.json) throughout, and by not providing Linux/macOS equivalents or notes. All examples reference Windows-style paths, and there is no mention of Linux shell or PowerShell Core on non-Windows platforms. While both Azure PowerShell and Azure CLI examples are given, the CLI examples also use Windows paths, and there are no explicit Linux/macOS instructions or screenshots. The documentation assumes a Windows environment for file storage and command usage.
Recommendations
  • Provide both Windows and Linux/macOS file path examples (e.g., c:\Templates\deployTS\azuredeploy.json and ~/Templates/deployTS/azuredeploy.json).
  • Add notes or tabs for Linux/macOS users, especially for file paths and shell commands.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI and PowerShell can be used cross-platform, and provide examples or screenshots for non-Windows environments.
  • Avoid assuming a default file system structure; use environment variables or platform-agnostic paths where possible.
  • Mention any platform-specific issues (such as the PowerShell variable assignment note) for both Windows and non-Windows users.

## Deploy the template

When you deploy the linked template, it deploys both the web application and the storage account. The deployment is same as deploying other ARM templates.
