Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by providing only PowerShell script examples for importing virtual machines, referencing a .ps1 script, and omitting any Linux shell or cross-platform CLI examples. PowerShell is a Windows-centric tool, and the lack of Bash, Azure CLI, or other Linux-friendly instructions makes the documentation less accessible to Linux users. The PowerShell method is presented before the REST API, reinforcing the Windows-first approach.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent examples using Bash scripts and/or Azure CLI commands for Linux users.
- Explicitly state cross-platform options and clarify PowerShell Core compatibility on Linux/macOS if applicable.
- Present REST API and CLI examples before or alongside PowerShell to avoid Windows-first ordering.
- Reference Linux tools and scripting patterns where appropriate, and provide links to relevant cross-platform resources.
