Summary
The documentation page exhibits several signs of Windows bias. File paths are given in Windows format (e.g., c:\Templates\deployTS\azuredeploy.json) without mention of Linux alternatives. PowerShell examples and instructions are presented before Azure CLI, and troubleshooting notes specifically reference Windows PowerShell issues. There are no explicit Linux shell examples, nor are Linux file path conventions or considerations discussed.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux/macOS file path examples alongside Windows paths (e.g., /home/user/Templates/deployTS/azuredeploy.json).
  • Alternate the order of PowerShell and CLI examples, or present them side-by-side to avoid implicit prioritization.
  • Include troubleshooting notes relevant to Linux/macOS environments, not just Windows PowerShell.
  • Explicitly state that both Windows and Linux are supported, and mention any platform-specific considerations.
  • Add Bash shell examples for variable assignment and command usage where appropriate.

## Deploy the template

When you deploy the linked template, it deploys both the web application and the storage account. The deployment is same as deploying other ARM templates.
