Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by providing extensive PowerShell examples first, using Windows-centric tools and patterns (e.g., PowerShell cmdlets, Windows VM images), and omitting Linux-specific PowerShell or CLI examples. The VM creation example in PowerShell uses a Windows image exclusively, while the CLI example uses Ubuntu, but there is no parity in showing Linux VM creation via PowerShell. The documentation also assumes familiarity with Windows tooling and does not mention Linux alternatives or cross-platform scripting approaches in the PowerShell section.
Recommendations
  • Add PowerShell examples for creating and managing Linux VMs (e.g., using Ubuntu or other Linux images) to demonstrate parity.
  • Include Bash scripting examples alongside PowerShell for backend pool management, especially for users on Linux or macOS.
  • Present CLI and PowerShell examples in parallel, rather than giving PowerShell (Windows) examples first and in greater detail.
  • Explicitly mention cross-platform compatibility of Azure CLI and PowerShell, and provide guidance for Linux/macOS users.
  • Avoid using only Windows-specific VM images in examples; alternate or show both Windows and Linux VM creation in all tool sections.
  • Add notes or links for Linux users on how to install and use Azure PowerShell and CLI on their platforms.
