Summary
The documentation exclusively provides PowerShell-based code samples and instructions, which are native to Windows environments. All configuration examples use Windows-centric tools and patterns (e.g., PowerShell cmdlets, Windows-style file paths, and XML configuration referencing C:\ paths). There are no equivalent examples or guidance for Linux or macOS users, nor any mention of cross-platform alternatives such as Azure CLI, Bash, or ARM templates. This creates a significant barrier for users managing Azure resources from non-Windows systems.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent code samples using Azure CLI, which is cross-platform and widely used on Linux/macOS.
- Include ARM/Bicep template examples for extension deployment, which work across all platforms.
- Provide guidance on how to configure Microsoft Antimalware for Linux VMs (if supported), or clarify Windows-only support.
- Show file path examples using Linux conventions (e.g., /home/user/file.xml) alongside Windows paths.
- Explicitly state platform requirements and limitations for each method.
