Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a mild Windows bias in the way it presents tooling and examples. In the 'Ways to create snapshots' section, PowerShell is listed as a primary tool alongside Azure Portal, REST API, and Azure CLI, but there is no mention of Linux-specific tools or shell scripting. The only scripting example linked is for SQL Server (a Windows-centric workload). There are no explicit Linux/Bash examples or references to Linux-native patterns, and PowerShell is mentioned before any Linux alternatives. This could make Linux users feel less directly supported.
Recommendations:
- Include explicit Bash/Unix shell examples for snapshot management using Azure CLI, especially for common Linux administration scenarios.
- When listing tools, present Azure CLI and REST API before PowerShell, or group them neutrally, to avoid the impression of Windows-first bias.
- Add references or links to Linux scripting guides or examples for automating snapshot tasks.
- If possible, provide sample scripts for both PowerShell and Bash in the documentation or in linked resources.
- Mention that Azure CLI is cross-platform and can be used on Linux, macOS, and Windows, to reinforce platform neutrality.
