Currently the shell script uses certain tools/mechanisms that are available on Ubuntu but may not be agnostic to other OS:
1.Tar - e.g. the path transform feature
2.UUID generation - for the suffix of the ARM template deployment name. We don't necessarily need to use UUID to ensure uniqueness of a template deployment name. A random string works equivalently.
It is desirable to make it more OS agnostic to faciliate local testing or workflow based on other OS images.
