Summary
The documentation references Azure PowerShell alongside Azure CLI, Terraform, ARM, and Bicep as supported tools for backup and restore operations. Azure PowerShell is a Windows-centric tool, and its mention (including dedicated links for backup and restore) signals a Windows bias. There is no explicit mention of Linux/macOS equivalents for PowerShell, nor are there Bash or shell script examples. Additionally, the order of tools in the 'Next steps' section lists Azure PowerShell before ARM and Bicep, which may reinforce a Windows-first perception. However, the main backup extension itself only supports Ubuntu or Azure Linux node pools, and not Windows-based node pools, which is a technical limitation rather than a documentation bias.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit Bash or shell script examples for Linux/macOS users where PowerShell is referenced.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI and Terraform are cross-platform and recommend them for Linux/macOS users.
  • Reorder tool references in 'Next steps' to list cross-platform tools first (e.g., Azure CLI, Terraform) and note platform specificity for PowerShell.
  • Add a note that Azure PowerShell is primarily for Windows and suggest alternatives for Linux/macOS users.
