Summary
The documentation page exhibits several Windows biases: many of the advanced steps (especially those involving service principal creation, key vault policy setting, and disk encryption set creation) rely heavily on PowerShell commands and patterns, even though the Azure CLI is cross-platform. Windows tools (e.g., Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK) are referenced without Linux alternatives. In multi-step procedures, PowerShell is used for scripting and variable assignment, which is less natural for Linux users. While the basic VM creation examples use Azure CLI and Linux images, the more complex workflows assume a Windows/PowerShell environment, and Windows-specific instructions or links are often mentioned before Linux equivalents.
Recommendations
- Replace PowerShell scripting and variable assignment with Bash equivalents where possible, especially in CLI-focused documentation.
- Provide Linux-native instructions for steps currently using PowerShell (e.g., service principal creation, variable assignment, piping JSON output).
- Reference cross-platform tools and SDKs, or provide Linux alternatives to Windows-specific tools like the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK.
- Ensure that Linux examples are given equal prominence and detail as Windows examples, and avoid mentioning Windows instructions before Linux ones unless contextually necessary.
- Where both Windows and Linux workflows exist, clearly separate them and provide parity in explanation and code samples.
