Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing PowerShell for automation and GUID generation, referencing Windows-centric tools (Visual Studio, PowerShell), and omitting Linux-specific or cross-platform command-line examples for key tasks. While curl is mentioned, the primary automation flow and examples assume a Windows/PowerShell environment, with no Linux shell or CLI parity.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux/bash command-line examples for all PowerShell commands (e.g., show how to generate a GUID with uuidgen or openssl).
  • List cross-platform tools (curl, httpie, Postman, etc.) before or alongside Windows-specific tools like PowerShell and Visual Studio.
  • Include Linux/macOS authentication and scripting guidance (e.g., Azure CLI usage, bash scripts) alongside PowerShell.
  • Clarify that all REST API examples are platform-agnostic and provide sample requests using curl or httpie.
  • Avoid assuming the user is on Windows; use neutral language and tool ordering.
  • Where screenshots or instructions reference Windows UI, note any differences for Linux/macOS users or provide alternative instructions if needed.
