Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a significant Windows bias, particularly in the command-line and scripting sections. All automation and scripting examples are provided exclusively using PowerShell, a tool primarily associated with Windows environments (despite its cross-platform support, it is still less common on Linux). There are no CLI, Bash, or Linux-native command examples, nor is there mention of using the Azure CLI or REST API, which are more typical in Linux workflows. The prerequisite and walkthrough sections also reference patterns and tools familiar to Windows users (e.g., Outlook-style calendar, PowerShell, and Windows-centric terminology), with no Linux-first or cross-platform parity.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent examples using Azure CLI (az), which is widely used on Linux and macOS, alongside PowerShell.
  • Include Bash shell scripting examples for schedule management, or at least show how to use curl or other Linux-native tools to interact with the relevant Azure REST APIs.
  • Explicitly mention that PowerShell Core is cross-platform, but clarify installation steps for Linux and macOS users.
  • Balance screenshots and terminology to reference both Windows and Linux environments (e.g., compare Outlook calendar to common Linux calendar tools, or use more neutral language).
  • Add a section or callout for Linux users, outlining any differences or additional steps required.
  • Reference documentation for managing Storage Mover agents from Linux systems, if available.

## Ensure you are running the latest version of PowerShell 7
$PSVersionTable.PSVersion

## Your local execution policy must be set to at least remote signed or less restrictive
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser

## If you don't have the general Az PowerShell module, install it first
Install-Module -Name Az -Scope CurrentUser -Repository PSGallery -Force

## Lastly, the Az.StorageMover module is not installed by default and must be manually requested.
Install-Module -Name Az.StorageMover -Scope CurrentUser -Repository PSGallery -Force
