Powershell Heavy 🔧 Windows Tools Missing Linux Example Windows First
Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias, especially in the 'Generate a service principal' section, which provides only a PowerShell script for service principal creation and instructions for running it in a Windows PowerShell environment. There are no equivalent examples or guidance for Linux/macOS users (e.g., Bash, Azure CLI), and the prerequisites specifically require Azure PowerShell. Windows tools and patterns are mentioned exclusively and first, creating friction for users on other platforms.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent instructions and scripts for Linux/macOS users, such as using Azure CLI (az ad sp create-for-rbac) with Bash.
  • Include cross-platform examples for service principal creation and related steps.
  • Clarify which steps are platform-specific and offer alternatives for non-Windows environments.
  • Update prerequisites to mention Azure CLI as an alternative to Azure PowerShell.
  • Reorder examples or provide parallel instructions so that Linux/macOS users are not forced to adapt Windows-centric guidance.

PowerShell is mentioned and exemplified more frequently than Linux-native alternatives, and Windows-centric tools and patterns (such as Visual Studio and PowerShell modules) are referenced without equivalent Linux or cross-platform guidance. In several cases, examples and instructions are provided for PowerShell first or exclusively, while Linux/Unix alternatives (such as Bash scripting or native CLI usage) are either mentioned secondarily or omitted. There are missing Linux-specific examples for tasks like endpoint discovery and extension deployment, and Windows tools (Visual Studio, PowerShell) are referenced without cross-platform alternatives.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux/Bash examples alongside PowerShell for all CLI operations, especially for endpoint discovery and extension deployment.
  • Reference cross-platform tools (such as VS Code, Azure CLI) before or alongside Windows-centric tools like Visual Studio.
  • Ensure that instructions for SDK endpoint modifications, firewall exceptions, and other configuration steps include Linux-specific guidance (e.g., modifying config files, using environment variables in Bash).
  • Add explicit notes or sections for Linux/macOS users where workflows or commands differ from Windows.
  • Review and update links to documentation so that they point to cross-platform or Linux-specific resources when available.
  • Avoid assuming PowerShell as the default scripting environment; clarify when commands are platform-specific and offer alternatives.

  • Ensure Linux examples are provided alongside Windows examples for all major scenarios, especially for VM provisioning, disk encryption, and remote management.
  • Present Linux and Windows options with equal prominence, alternating which is mentioned first in lists and tables.
  • Expand discussion of Linux technologies (e.g., KVM, DM-Crypt, iptables) where relevant, not just referencing them as alternatives.
  • Include explicit Linux CLI and scripting examples (e.g., Bash, Azure CLI on Linux) wherever PowerShell is referenced.
  • Clarify when features or guidance are platform-agnostic and avoid implying Windows is the default or preferred platform.
  • Add links to Linux-specific documentation and best practices in 'Extra resources' and 'Next steps' sections.
