Description

Describe the solution you'd like

Please also provide a Bash option for deploying the ALZ Accelerator

I'm curious what the use case is for a Bash version of the script - PowerShell 7 is already cross-platform. I would imagine it would be pretty challenging to produce a robust version of this in Bash

I'm guessing the customer has a locked down image or similar and a proxy that blocks access to the PowerShell Gallery, etc. I can see the desire for an alternative in that scenario. We have considered providing a cross-platform binary alternative (i.e. C# or golang), but highly unlikely we will ever provide a bash option. Closing for now, but can re-open if demand for this increases.
