Summary
The documentation page exhibits a notable Windows bias in its deployment instructions and tooling. All deployment command examples use Azure PowerShell, with no mention or example of Azure CLI or Bash commands, which are preferred on Linux/macOS. File paths in examples use Windows-style (e.g., D:\Azure\Templates\...), and PowerShell is referenced as the primary method for deploying ARM templates. Although ARM template samples are provided for both Linux and Windows extensions, the operational instructions and command-line tooling are Windows-centric, creating friction for Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent Azure CLI deployment commands for all ARM template deployment scenarios, with clear examples.
  • Show Linux/macOS file path examples alongside Windows paths.
  • Explicitly state that both Azure PowerShell and Azure CLI can be used, and link to CLI documentation.
  • For script execution, clarify how Linux users can run commands in Bash or other shells.
  • In all sections, present Linux and Windows instructions/examples in parallel, or alternate which comes first.
