Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. PowerShell is frequently used for scripting and verification tasks, with detailed PowerShell cmdlet examples provided throughout. In most cases, Windows/PowerShell examples are given before Azure CLI equivalents, and some tasks (such as verifying template functions in Azure Stack) are only described using PowerShell, with no Linux/macOS alternative. Additionally, references to Windows-specific tooling (e.g., Visual Studio, PowerShell DSC, Windows VM images) are prevalent, while Linux equivalents are not mentioned or are given less prominence.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Bash/Azure CLI scripts for all PowerShell examples, especially for verification tasks and template function checks.
- Ensure Linux/macOS users are explicitly supported in automation and testing sections, including recommendations for compatible IDEs and tools.
- Include examples of ARM templates deploying Linux VM images and using Linux VM extensions, not just Windows-centric ones.
- Mention cross-platform alternatives to Windows-specific tools (e.g., VS Code instead of Visual Studio, Bash instead of PowerShell).
- Where PowerShell is used, clarify whether the script can be run on PowerShell Core (cross-platform) or only Windows PowerShell.
