Summary
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All command-line examples, including those for Linux VMs, use PowerShell and Azure PowerShell cmdlets, with sample outputs shown from Windows environments (e.g., PS C:\WINDOWS\system32>). There is no mention of using native Linux tools (such as Azure CLI or Bash), and Linux-specific instructions are often presented after Windows instructions. The removal of GPU extensions is only shown with PowerShell, with no Linux-native alternative. Even SSH examples are shown from a Windows PowerShell prompt.
Recommendations
  • Provide Azure CLI and Bash examples for Linux users, especially for template deployment, extension tracking, and removal.
  • Show sample outputs from Linux terminals (e.g., Bash shell) when demonstrating Linux VM operations.
  • Include instructions for running commands directly on Linux systems, not just from Windows/PowerShell.
  • Present Linux and Windows instructions in parallel, rather than Windows-first, to improve parity and accessibility.
  • Clarify which commands are cross-platform and which are Windows-only, and recommend cross-platform tools where possible.
