Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by providing detailed instructions and examples for PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) and referencing a PowerShell script as the primary method for importing VMs. There are no equivalent examples or scripts for Linux shells (e.g., Bash), nor is there mention of cross-platform alternatives. The PowerShell method is presented before the REST API, reinforcing the Windows-first approach.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Bash or Azure CLI examples/scripts for Linux and macOS users.
- Explicitly mention that PowerShell Core is cross-platform if relevant, and clarify compatibility.
- Reorder sections or add a note to indicate that both Windows and Linux users can use the REST API equally.
- Reference Linux tools or workflows where appropriate, such as curl for REST API calls or Azure CLI commands.
- Add a table or section comparing available import methods for different platforms.
