Summary
The documentation references Azure PowerShell as a supported method for backup and restore, which is primarily a Windows tool. In the 'Next steps' section, Azure PowerShell is listed alongside Azure CLI, ARM, Bicep, and Terraform, but there is no explicit mention of Linux/macOS-specific instructions or parity for PowerShell usage. The documentation does not provide examples or guidance for Linux/macOS users regarding PowerShell, nor does it clarify whether all features are available via CLI or other cross-platform tools. Additionally, while the documentation states that the Backup Extension can only be installed on Ubuntu or Azure Linux node pools (and not Windows-based node pools), this is a technical limitation rather than a documentation bias.
Recommendations
- Clarify in the documentation whether Azure PowerShell commands can be run on Linux/macOS (via PowerShell Core), or provide explicit instructions/examples for Linux/macOS users.
- Ensure that all CLI examples are shown before or alongside PowerShell examples, emphasizing cross-platform compatibility.
- Add a note or section highlighting that the backup extension is Linux-only, and provide guidance for users who may be running mixed OS clusters.
- Where possible, provide parity in examples and instructions for Linux/macOS users, especially for scripting and automation tasks.
