Summary
The documentation demonstrates a notable Windows bias in the playbook ARM template generation steps. It exclusively references a PowerShell script for sanitizing ARM templates, instructs users to use Windows PowerShell, PowerShell Core, or Visual Studio Code, and provides only Windows-centric instructions (including Set-ExecutionPolicy). There are no equivalent instructions or examples for Linux/macOS users, such as using Azure CLI, Bash, or cross-platform scripting alternatives. This may create friction for non-Windows users attempting to follow the guide.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux/macOS instructions for running the PowerShell script, including prerequisites (e.g., installing PowerShell Core on Linux/macOS).
  • Offer alternative methods for ARM template sanitization, such as using Azure CLI, Bash scripts, or cross-platform tools.
  • Explicitly mention how to run the script on Linux/macOS, including any required changes (e.g., file permissions, execution policy).
  • Include examples or screenshots from Linux/macOS environments where applicable.
  • List any dependencies or limitations for non-Windows platforms up front.
