Summary
Although the documentation is focused on Linux VMs, there is a noticeable bias towards Windows-centric tools and patterns. PowerShell is featured heavily and often mentioned before Azure CLI, even in Linux contexts. References to Azure PowerShell and its installation are frequent, and instructions for deploying ARM templates prioritize PowerShell before CLI. There are no native Linux shell (bash) examples, and the use of PowerShell is assumed for command-line operations, which is less common for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Prioritize Azure CLI examples before PowerShell in all sections, as CLI is more native to Linux environments.
- Add bash shell script examples for common operations, such as installing, listing, and uninstalling the extension.
- Clarify that PowerShell is optional and not required for Linux users, and provide guidance for using bash or other native Linux tools.
- When referencing Cloud Shell, note that both bash and PowerShell environments are available, and show how to select bash.
- Remove or de-emphasize instructions for installing Azure PowerShell locally on Linux, unless there is a specific advantage.
- Ensure that all example commands and screenshots use Linux-friendly conventions (e.g., single quotes, bash prompt, Linux file paths).
