Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by providing PowerShell-based instructions and scripts for key operations (such as copying encryption keys), referencing the Windows PowerShell application explicitly, and omitting equivalent Linux shell or CLI examples. The only automation script provided is a PowerShell script, and there is no mention of Bash, Azure CLI, or cross-platform alternatives. This may hinder Linux users, especially since Azure Disk Encryption is supported for Linux VMs (with some limitations), but the documentation does not provide parity in guidance or tooling.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Bash or Azure CLI examples for copying keys and managing permissions, especially for Linux users.
  • Clearly indicate cross-platform options for automation, such as using Azure CLI or REST API, and provide step-by-step instructions for those.
  • Avoid referencing 'Windows PowerShell application' exclusively; mention how to run scripts on Linux/macOS (e.g., via PowerShell Core or Azure CLI).
  • Where PowerShell scripts are provided, offer alternative scripts or commands for Linux environments.
  • Add explicit Linux-focused sections or callouts where process or tooling differs, ensuring Linux administrators have clear guidance.
