Summary
The documentation provides detailed instructions for the Azure portal and Azure PowerShell, with PowerShell examples and cmdlets shown in full. There are no CLI (az), Bash, or Linux/macOS-specific instructions or examples. PowerShell is a Windows-centric tool, and its usage is presented before any mention of cross-platform alternatives. REST API is mentioned but not demonstrated with examples. This creates friction for Linux/macOS users who typically use Bash, Azure CLI, or REST directly.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent Azure CLI (az) commands for all PowerShell operations, including deleting, undeleting, and resuming backup protection.
- Provide Bash script examples for Linux/macOS users.
- Explicitly mention that PowerShell Core is cross-platform, but clarify if Windows PowerShell is required or if all cmdlets work on Linux/macOS.
- Include REST API example requests and responses inline, not just as links.
- Present CLI and Bash examples before or alongside PowerShell examples to avoid Windows-first bias.
