Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows and PowerShell. All examples use Azure PowerShell cmdlets, with no mention of Azure CLI, Bash, or Linux-native tools. VM creation is shown only for Windows Server images, and there are no instructions or examples for deploying Linux VMs or using Linux-friendly tools. The documentation assumes familiarity with PowerShell and Windows-centric workflows, and does not provide parity for Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent Azure CLI (az) examples for each step, including resource group, network, load balancer, NIC, and VM creation.
  • Include examples for deploying Linux VMs (e.g., using Ubuntu or CentOS images) alongside Windows Server examples.
  • Mention and demonstrate how to use Bash or Cloud Shell (Bash) for these tasks, not just PowerShell.
  • Provide guidance on installing and using Azure CLI on Linux systems.
  • Ensure that documentation titles and descriptions clarify if the instructions are PowerShell-specific, and link to Linux/CLI alternatives.
  • Where possible, use cross-platform terminology and avoid assuming the user is on Windows.
