Summary
The documentation demonstrates a clear Windows bias in the sections describing how to generate and sanitize ARM templates for playbooks. The only automation script provided is a PowerShell script, and instructions reference running it in Visual Studio Code, Windows PowerShell, or PowerShell Core. There are no examples or guidance for performing these tasks on Linux or macOS, nor are alternative tools or shell commands mentioned. The documentation assumes the user is on a Windows environment, both in tool recommendations and in the order of presentation.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent instructions for Linux and macOS users, including how to run the PowerShell script using PowerShell Core on those platforms.
  • Explicitly state that PowerShell Core is cross-platform and provide installation links for Linux/macOS.
  • Offer alternative methods for extracting and sanitizing ARM templates using Azure CLI, Bash, or other cross-platform tools.
  • Include example commands and screenshots from Linux/macOS terminals where appropriate.
  • Avoid assuming Visual Studio Code or Windows PowerShell as the default environment; mention cross-platform editors and shells.
  • Add a section or note clarifying platform compatibility for all scripts and tools referenced.
