Summary
The documentation page exhibits a notable Windows bias. All code examples for interacting with Azure (creating the key vault, deploying templates, cleaning up resources) use Azure PowerShell cmdlets, with no Azure CLI or Bash equivalents shown. The tutorial centers on deploying a Windows VM, and the validation step uses RDP, a Windows-specific protocol. Although Cloud Shell supports Bash and the prerequisites mention Bash, all step-by-step instructions and scripts are PowerShell-only. There is no guidance for Linux users to deploy a Linux VM, nor examples using Azure CLI commands.
Recommendations
  • Provide Azure CLI/Bash equivalents for all PowerShell scripts, especially for key vault creation, secret retrieval, template deployment, and resource cleanup.
  • Include a Linux VM deployment example or link to one, and describe how to retrieve secrets for Linux VM admin credentials.
  • In the 'Deploy the template' section, show both PowerShell and Bash/CLI options, and clarify when each should be used.
  • In validation, mention SSH for Linux VMs as an alternative to RDP for Windows VMs.
  • Avoid assuming the user is deploying a Windows VM; offer parity for Linux VM scenarios.
