Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. Most command examples use PowerShell syntax and variables (e.g., $urn, $diskName), and rely on Azure PowerShell-specific cmdlets such as New-AzureStorageContext and Start-AzureStorageBlobCopy, which are not available on Linux. The workflow and example outputs are shown in a PowerShell context, and the image selection examples prioritize Windows Server images before Linux images. There are no equivalent bash or cross-platform CLI examples for Linux users, nor are Linux-friendly tools or patterns mentioned.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent bash/Azure CLI examples for all steps, especially for disk and blob operations (e.g., using az storage blob copy start for VHD copy).
  • Avoid using PowerShell-specific variables and cmdlets in generic instructions; use cross-platform syntax where possible.
  • Present Linux and Windows image examples with equal prominence, or alternate which OS is shown first.
  • Include notes or sections for Linux/macOS users, clarifying tool availability and usage.
  • Explicitly state which steps require PowerShell and offer alternatives for non-Windows environments.
