Summary
The documentation demonstrates a notable Windows bias, particularly in sections involving automation or scripting. PowerShell is repeatedly referenced as the primary command-line tool, with scripts provided for backup, deletion, and security configuration tasks. While 'CLI' is mentioned alongside PowerShell in some places, actual examples, downloads, and screenshots consistently focus on PowerShell, and there are no explicit Bash, Azure CLI (az), or Linux/macOS shell examples. This creates friction for Linux/macOS users, who may not have access to PowerShell or prefer native shell tools.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Azure CLI (az) or Bash script examples alongside PowerShell scripts for all automation tasks.
  • Clarify which scripts are cross-platform and which are Windows-only; offer download links for both PowerShell and Bash/CLI versions.
  • In screenshots and step-by-step instructions, alternate or parallel examples for Linux/macOS environments.
  • Explicitly mention prerequisites for running scripts on non-Windows platforms (e.g., PowerShell Core, az CLI).
  • Ensure that 'Command tools' references do not default to PowerShell, but list CLI and Bash options first or equally.
