Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias in its CI/CD best practices section, specifically recommending PowerShell scripts for pre- and post-deployment tasks and linking to a PowerShell (.ps1) script. There is no mention of Bash, shell, or cross-platform alternatives, nor are Linux/macOS-specific instructions or examples provided. The guidance assumes users are familiar with PowerShell and Windows tooling, and does not address how Linux/macOS users can perform equivalent tasks.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Bash or shell script examples for pre- and post-deployment tasks.
  • Explicitly mention that PowerShell Core is cross-platform and provide installation instructions for Linux/macOS.
  • Include guidance or links for running deployment scripts on Linux/macOS agents in Azure Pipelines.
  • Add notes or examples for using Azure CLI as an alternative to PowerShell where possible.
  • Reorder examples or notes so that cross-platform solutions are presented before or alongside Windows-specific ones.
