Summary
The documentation provides examples for Azure CLI, PowerShell, portal, and ARM templates. PowerShell examples are given equal prominence to CLI, and the CLI examples are generic (not OS-specific). However, in the ARM template section, both Linux and Windows quickstart links are provided, but the example shown is for Linux only. There is a slight Windows bias in that PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) is given a dedicated section and examples, and the PowerShell examples appear before ARM template examples. The documentation does not provide any Linux-specific shell (bash) or scripting examples, nor does it mention Linux tools or patterns. The CLI examples are cross-platform, but the lack of explicit Linux shell examples and the prominence of PowerShell may be perceived as a Windows bias.
Recommendations
- Add explicit bash or Linux shell scripting examples for creating and managing scale sets.
- Clarify that Azure CLI commands work equally well on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and provide example shell invocations for Linux users.
- Balance the PowerShell section by adding a section for bash scripting or Linux automation tools (e.g., Ansible, Terraform).
- In ARM template examples, alternate between Linux and Windows examples, or provide both side-by-side.
- Consider mentioning Linux-specific considerations or best practices where relevant.
