Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively providing examples for creating Windows virtual machines and referencing Windows-centric tools (PowerShell). There are no Linux VM creation examples, nor any mention of Linux-specific patterns or considerations. The Azure CLI installation link defaults to Windows instructions, and PowerShell is presented as an equal alternative to Azure CLI, which is more cross-platform. No Linux shell or VM examples are given.
Recommendations
  • Add examples for creating Linux virtual machines using both Azure CLI and PowerShell (e.g., using --image UbuntuLTS).
  • Include Linux shell (bash) instructions and clarify cross-platform usage for Azure CLI.
  • Provide parity in documentation for Linux environments, such as mentioning SSH key authentication and Linux-specific VM configuration.
  • Update installation instructions for Azure CLI to reference cross-platform guides, not just Windows.
  • Balance the use of PowerShell and CLI by clarifying platform compatibility and suggesting CLI for Linux/macOS users.
