Summary
The documentation provides detailed instructions and examples for deleting lab VMs and labs in Azure DevTest Labs, but automation is only demonstrated using PowerShell, a Windows-centric tool. There are no equivalent examples for Linux users (e.g., Bash, Azure CLI), and the scripting section exclusively references PowerShell cmdlets and patterns. This creates a bias toward Windows users and may hinder Linux users from automating these tasks.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent automation examples using Azure CLI (az) commands, which are cross-platform and commonly used on Linux.
- Provide Bash script samples for deleting all VMs in a lab, alongside the PowerShell example.
- Explicitly mention that the Azure portal steps are OS-agnostic, but clarify that scripting can be done from any platform using Azure CLI.
- Include links to Azure CLI documentation for resource deletion tasks.
- Ensure that future documentation covers both Windows and Linux automation options in parallel.
