Summary
The documentation consistently lists Azure PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) before Azure CLI when describing configuration methods. In the 'Instances and host scaling' section, only Azure PowerShell and portal methods are provided, with no Azure CLI or Linux-native examples. There are no explicit Linux shell or scripting examples, and no mention of Linux-specific tools or workflows. This creates a subtle bias toward Windows and PowerShell users, potentially making it less accessible for Linux administrators.
Recommendations
  • Ensure Azure CLI examples are provided for all configuration steps, especially for 'Instances and host scaling', not just PowerShell.
  • Alternate the order of PowerShell and CLI examples, or list CLI first in some sections to avoid Windows-first bias.
  • Include Linux shell (bash) usage examples where relevant, such as subnet and public IP configuration.
  • Explicitly mention that Azure CLI is cross-platform and suitable for Linux/macOS users.
  • Add notes or links to Linux-specific guidance or troubleshooting where appropriate.
