Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias, primarily through the use of PowerShell for automation and bulk update scenarios, with no equivalent Bash or Linux shell scripting example. Windows tooling (PowerShell) is presented as the default for scripting, and the bulk update script is Windows-centric, even though it nominally supports Linux VMs. In several sections, Windows examples or tools are mentioned first, and Linux parity is only achieved in CLI commands, not in automation or scripting guidance.
Recommendations
- Provide a Bash or shell script example for bulk updating Network Watcher extensions on Linux VMs, using Azure CLI.
- When presenting manual update instructions, alternate the order of Windows and Linux examples, or present them side-by-side.
- Explicitly mention cross-platform automation options (e.g., Azure CLI in Bash, Python SDK) for large deployments, not just PowerShell.
- Clarify which commands/tools are cross-platform and which are Windows-only.
- Add a note that PowerShell Core is available on Linux/macOS, if relevant, and provide usage guidance.
