Summary
The documentation exclusively uses PowerShell scripts and Azure PowerShell tasks for all CI/CD automation examples, with no mention of Bash, Azure CLI, or cross-platform scripting alternatives. All sample code, instructions, and YAML pipeline tasks are PowerShell-centric, and there are no Linux-native or cross-platform examples provided. The documentation assumes the use of PowerShell Core but does not address Linux environments or provide parity for non-Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent examples using Azure CLI and Bash scripts for pre- and post-deployment automation, ensuring Linux users have clear guidance.
  • Explicitly mention that PowerShell Core is cross-platform and provide instructions for running scripts on Linux agents.
  • Include YAML pipeline examples that use AzureCLI@2 or Bash tasks alongside AzurePowerShell tasks.
  • Reference or link to documentation on setting up Linux build agents and running deployment scripts in non-Windows environments.
  • Clarify any limitations or differences when running the scripts on Linux versus Windows, and offer troubleshooting tips for Linux users.
