Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and PowerShell examples for all operations, but PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) is consistently presented alongside CLI, sometimes with more detail (e.g., accepting Marketplace terms). There is no explicit mention of Linux-specific tools or shell patterns (such as Bash scripting), and PowerShell is referenced as a primary automation method, which may implicitly favor Windows users. Additionally, the naming conventions and resource group patterns use Windows-style casing (PascalCase), and there is no discussion of Linux-specific considerations or alternative workflows.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Bash shell script examples for all CLI commands to demonstrate Linux-native automation.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI is cross-platform and can be used on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
  • Include notes or sections on Linux-specific considerations, such as file permissions, environment variables, or shell differences when moving VMs.
  • Avoid presenting PowerShell as the default or primary automation method; alternate CLI and PowerShell examples, or lead with CLI (which is more cross-platform).
  • Mention that PowerShell Core is available on Linux, but provide guidance for users who prefer native Linux tools.
  • Review resource naming conventions to ensure they are not implicitly Windows-centric.
