Summary
The documentation is primarily focused on Azure CLI usage, which is cross-platform, and most examples use bash-style syntax suitable for both Linux and Windows (with WSL or bash). However, there is a notable Windows bias in the following ways: (1) The only alternative tool mentioned is PowerShell, with a prominent early reference and link to a PowerShell-based tutorial, but no mention of Linux shell scripting or tools; (2) The only cross-link for restoring VMs with another tool is to a Windows-centric PowerShell guide; (3) In the cross-zonal restore section, the link for 'Azure zone pinned VMs' points to a Windows VM creation page, not a Linux equivalent or a neutral overview.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent references and links for Linux users, such as a tutorial for restoring VMs with Bash scripts or Linux shell commands if available.
  • When referencing alternative tools (like PowerShell), also mention and link to Linux-native approaches or clarify that the CLI commands are fully supported on Linux.
  • In cross-zonal restore, link to both Windows and Linux VM documentation, or to a neutral overview page, to avoid implying Windows is the default.
  • Consider including a brief note at the start clarifying that all CLI commands work identically on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and that no OS-specific steps are required.
  • If mentioning PowerShell, also mention that Azure CLI can be used in Bash, Zsh, or other Linux shells, and provide example invocations if relevant.
