Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and PowerShell examples for creating and managing Virtual Machine Scale Sets with availability zones. However, PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) is given equal prominence to Azure CLI, and detailed PowerShell examples are provided. The Resource Manager template section references both Linux and Windows, but the PowerShell examples are not explicitly marked as Windows-only, which may imply parity that does not exist for Linux users. There is a slight 'windows_first' bias in the ordering and presentation of PowerShell examples, and the lack of explicit Bash or Linux shell scripting examples may disadvantage Linux users.
Recommendations
- Explicitly label PowerShell examples as Windows-specific and provide equivalent Bash or shell scripting examples for Linux users where applicable.
- Ensure that Azure CLI examples include Linux-specific notes (e.g., SSH key generation, file permissions) where relevant.
- In sections referencing Resource Manager templates, provide clear guidance and links for both Linux and Windows deployments, and ensure parity in example detail.
- Consider adding a table or summary comparing Windows and Linux deployment options and tooling, to help users choose the best approach for their environment.
- Review the ordering of example tabs to ensure Azure CLI (cross-platform) is presented before PowerShell (Windows-specific), and clarify tool applicability in introductory text.
