Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias by exclusively providing Azure PowerShell examples and instructions for deploying and cleaning up resources. There are no examples or instructions for using Azure CLI, Bash, or other cross-platform tools commonly used on Linux/macOS. The workflow assumes the use of Azure Cloud Shell in PowerShell mode, and all scripts and command references are PowerShell-specific. There is no mention of Linux-specific tools or alternative command-line approaches, and the only linked tutorial is also PowerShell-focused.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent Azure CLI (az) command examples for all deployment and cleanup steps, as Azure CLI is cross-platform and widely used on Linux/macOS.
- Explicitly mention that Azure Cloud Shell supports both Bash and PowerShell, and provide instructions for both environments.
- Include Bash script examples for users who prefer scripting in Bash.
- Ensure that references to commands and tools are not PowerShell-exclusive; provide links to both PowerShell and CLI documentation where appropriate.
- Consider restructuring sections so that cross-platform tools (like Azure CLI) are presented before or alongside PowerShell, rather than only after or not at all.
