Summary
Although the documentation is for Linux VMs, it consistently presents PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) as a primary management option alongside Azure CLI and Portal. PowerShell examples and instructions are given equal or greater prominence, and references to installing Azure PowerShell locally (a Windows-first pattern) are frequent. There is no mention of native Linux shell scripting or Linux-specific management tools (e.g., Bash, SSH, Ansible), and the workflow assumes users are comfortable with PowerShell, which is less common on Linux. The documentation also refers to 'Azure Cloud Shell' generically, but emphasizes PowerShell usage and installation, which may reinforce Windows-centric patterns.
Recommendations
- Prioritize Azure CLI examples and instructions before PowerShell, as CLI is more native to Linux environments.
- Include Bash shell script examples for common tasks (install, uninstall, list extensions) to improve Linux parity.
- Mention Linux-native automation tools (e.g., Ansible, SSH) as alternatives for managing extensions.
- Clarify that PowerShell is cross-platform, but highlight that Azure CLI is typically pre-installed or easier to use on Linux.
- Reduce emphasis on installing Azure PowerShell locally, and provide guidance for Linux users who may prefer CLI or Bash.
- Add troubleshooting and management tips specific to Linux environments (e.g., log file locations, systemd integration, SELinux considerations).
