Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by providing extensive PowerShell examples first, using Windows-centric tools and patterns (e.g., New-AzVMConfig with WindowsServer images), and omitting equivalent Linux-focused PowerShell examples. While the Azure CLI section includes a Linux VM creation example, the PowerShell section only shows Windows VM creation, and all scripting examples in PowerShell use Windows-specific constructs. There is no PowerShell example for creating a Linux VM or using SSH keys, and Windows terminology and tools are prioritized.
Recommendations
  • Add PowerShell examples for creating Linux VMs, including use of SSH keys and Linux images (e.g., Ubuntu).
  • Provide PowerShell snippets that demonstrate cross-platform usage, not just Windows-centric commands.
  • Alternate the order of examples so that CLI and PowerShell are presented with equal prominence, or start with CLI (which is more OS-agnostic).
  • Explicitly mention Linux support and provide guidance for Linux administrators in both PowerShell and CLI sections.
  • Include notes or tables comparing Windows and Linux workflows for backend pool management.
  • Avoid using only WindowsServer images in VM creation examples; show both Windows and Linux images.
