Summary
The documentation page exhibits a moderate Windows bias. The Azure portal (GUI) instructions are Windows-centric, as the Azure portal is most commonly used on Windows environments, and the workloads discussed are all Azure VMs or databases running on Windows-based platforms (SQL Server, SAP HANA in Azure VMs). The PowerShell section is extensive and presented before the CLI section, with detailed step-by-step instructions and sample scripts, reinforcing a Windows-first approach. PowerShell, a Windows-native tool, is given prominence over the cross-platform Azure CLI. There are no explicit Linux shell (bash) examples, nor any mention of Linux-native tools or patterns, and the CLI section is less detailed than PowerShell. The documentation does not address Linux-specific backup scenarios or provide parity in example depth for Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Linux shell (bash) examples for all CLI commands, including sample scripts for automation.
  • Include instructions for using Azure CLI on Linux, such as installation via apt/yum and running commands in bash.
  • Mention Linux-native tools and patterns for scripting and automation, such as cron jobs or shell scripts.
  • Ensure CLI examples are as detailed and comprehensive as PowerShell examples, including error handling and output parsing.
  • Add a section or notes addressing backup scenarios for Linux VMs and workloads, if supported.
  • Avoid assuming the Azure portal is only used on Windows; clarify cross-platform access and usage.
  • Balance the order of presentation so CLI and PowerShell are given equal prominence, or alternate their order.
