Summary
The documentation generally covers both Windows and Linux Azure VMs, but there is a notable Windows-first bias in example commands and tooling references. The only explicit example for identifying a VM's associated key vault uses PowerShell, with no Linux or cross-platform equivalent (such as Azure CLI or Bash). Windows tools and terminology (BitLocker, PowerShell) are mentioned before Linux equivalents (dm-crypt, Azure CLI), and example commands are not provided for Linux users. This may create friction for Linux/macOS administrators who do not use PowerShell.
Recommendations
  • Provide Azure CLI and Bash examples alongside PowerShell commands for key tasks, such as identifying the associated Key Vault.
  • When describing encryption technologies, mention Linux equivalents (dm-crypt) before or alongside Windows tools (BitLocker), or present them in parallel.
  • Ensure that all procedural steps and code snippets are available for both Windows and Linux environments.
  • Add screenshots or instructions that reflect Linux/macOS user experiences in the Azure portal where relevant.
