Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for migrating Batch low-priority VMs to Spot VMs. However, PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) is given as the only alternative automation method after CLI, with no mention of Linux-native scripting alternatives (e.g., Bash, shell scripts) or cross-platform SDK code samples. The CLI examples are cross-platform, but PowerShell is highlighted as the main alternative, and there are no Linux-specific troubleshooting or validation examples. The documentation does not mention Linux tools or patterns beyond the use of Ubuntu images in pool configuration.
Recommendations
- Add explicit Bash/shell script examples for automation on Linux, especially for validation and troubleshooting steps.
- Clarify that Azure CLI is cross-platform and can be used on both Windows and Linux.
- Include examples using SDKs (Python, .NET, etc.) for pool creation and migration to provide parity for Linux and macOS users.
- Mention Linux-native tools (e.g., jq for JSON parsing) in validation and troubleshooting sections.
- If PowerShell is mentioned, also mention PowerShell Core (pwsh) is available cross-platform, or provide equivalent Bash commands.
