Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. Most command-line examples use PowerShell syntax and variables (e.g., $urn, $diskName), and Windows-specific Azure PowerShell cmdlets (New-AzureStorageContext, Start-AzureStorageBlobCopy, Get-AzureStorageBlobCopyState) are used exclusively for key steps. The workflow and examples prioritize Windows images and tools, with Windows Server images listed first and in greater detail. There are no equivalent Linux shell (bash) examples or instructions for performing the same tasks using cross-platform tools, and Linux images are mentioned only briefly.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent bash shell examples for all steps, using standard Azure CLI commands and Linux shell variable syntax.
  • Include instructions for copying VHDs using az storage blob copy or other cross-platform tools, rather than only PowerShell cmdlets.
  • List Linux images (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS) alongside Windows images in tables and examples, and ensure parity in detail and guidance.
  • Clarify which steps are platform-agnostic and which require OS-specific tools, and offer alternatives for Linux/macOS users.
  • Add a note or section explicitly addressing Linux/macOS users, guiding them through the workflow using their native tools.
