Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. PowerShell examples are frequently provided, often before or alongside Azure CLI commands, but never with Linux shell equivalents. Windows-specific tools and patterns (e.g., PowerShell DSC, .ps1 scripts, Windows VM images) are referenced without Linux alternatives. Examples for VM extensions and scripts focus on Windows, and there are no bash or Linux shell script examples. This creates friction for Linux/macOS users, though most tasks can be completed with Azure CLI or by adapting the instructions.
Recommendations
- Provide bash/Linux shell equivalents for PowerShell scripts, especially for verifying template functions and resource providers.
- Include Linux VM image examples alongside Windows ones in ARM template snippets.
- Show how to use Linux-compatible scripts (e.g., .sh) in Custom Script Extensions.
- When listing commands, alternate the order or group by platform, rather than listing PowerShell first.
- Reference cross-platform tools (e.g., VS Code) more explicitly for testing and automation.
- Clarify which instructions are platform-agnostic and which require adaptation for Linux/macOS.
