Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by providing only PowerShell examples for listing available VM sizes, referencing Windows-centric tools (PowerShell, Visual Studio) in the 'Next steps' section, and omitting equivalent Linux CLI or Bash examples. Windows tools and patterns are mentioned exclusively or before their Linux counterparts, with no guidance for users on Linux or macOS platforms.
Recommendations
  • Add Azure CLI and Bash examples for listing available VM sizes, alongside PowerShell.
  • Mention cross-platform tools (e.g., Azure CLI, REST API) before or alongside Windows-specific tools.
  • Include instructions for deploying Cloud Services using Linux/macOS-friendly methods (e.g., Azure CLI, VS Code).
  • Balance references to Visual Studio with alternatives like VS Code or other cross-platform editors.
  • Explicitly state platform compatibility for all examples and tools.
