Summary:
The documentation provides detailed instructions for moving Azure Load Balancers using the Azure portal and Azure PowerShell, but does not include any examples or guidance for Linux users or cross-platform CLI tools such as Azure CLI (az). All command-line examples are in PowerShell, and there are references to Windows-specific tools (e.g., notepad.exe). There is no mention of Bash, shell scripting, or Linux-native editors, which may hinder Linux or macOS users.
Recommendations:
- Add equivalent Azure CLI (az) command examples for all PowerShell steps, as Azure CLI is cross-platform and widely used on Linux and macOS.
- Replace or supplement references to Windows-only tools (e.g., 'notepad.exe') with cross-platform alternatives (e.g., 'nano', 'vim', or 'code'), or use generic language like 'open the file in your preferred text editor'.
- Explicitly mention that the steps can be performed on Linux/macOS using Azure CLI and standard text editors.
- Where possible, provide Bash script snippets or guidance for users on non-Windows platforms.
- Review all prerequisites and instructions to ensure they are not assuming a Windows environment by default.

Type the variable and hit enter to display the resource ID. Highlight the ID path and copy it to the clipboard:
2. Obtain the resource ID of the external load balancer you want to move to the target region and place it in a variable using [Get-AzLoadBalancer](/powershell/module/az.network/get-azloadbalancer):
11. To obtain region location codes, you can use the Azure PowerShell cmdlet [Get-AzLocation](/powershell/module/az.resources/get-azlocation) by running the following command:
12. To verify the resources were created in the target region, use [Get-AzResourceGroup](/powershell/module/az.resources/get-azresourcegroup) and [Get-AzVirtualNetwork](/powershell/module/az.network/get-azvirtualnetwork):
11. To obtain region location codes, you can use the Azure PowerShell cmdlet [Get-AzLocation](/powershell/module/az.resources/get-azlocation) by running the following command:
11. Deploy the edited **\<resource-group-name>.json** file to the resource group created in the previous step using [New-AzResourceGroupDeployment](/powershell/module/az.resources/new-azresourcegroupdeployment):
### Discard
After the deployment, if you wish to start over or discard the virtual network and load balancer in the target, delete the resource group that was created in the target and the moved virtual network and load balancer will be deleted. To remove the resource group, use [Remove-AzResourceGroup](/powershell/module/az.resources/remove-azresourcegroup):
