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 tooling. The VM creation steps exclusively use Windows images and Windows-specific configuration. There are no Linux VM examples, nor any guidance for users working from Linux or macOS environments. Windows tools and patterns (e.g., RDP, PowerShell, WindowsServer images) are referenced exclusively and/or before any Linux equivalents.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Azure CLI (az) examples for each step, suitable for Bash or other shells on Linux/macOS.
  • Include Linux VM creation examples alongside Windows VM examples, using popular distributions (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS).
  • Mention Linux-native connection methods (e.g., SSH) and provide corresponding network security group rules.
  • Clarify that the process can be performed from Linux/macOS environments using Azure CLI or Cloud Shell Bash.
  • Balance references to Windows tools (RDP, PowerShell) with Linux alternatives (SSH, Bash scripting).
  • Consider renaming the article or adding a parallel article for Linux users if the focus is intentionally Windows/PowerShell.
