Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and PowerShell examples for automating the migration of low-priority VMs to Spot VMs in Azure Batch. However, the PowerShell examples are presented as the only alternative to the CLI, with no mention of Bash scripting or Linux/macOS-specific automation methods. The PowerShell section assumes a Windows environment, and there are no explicit Linux/macOS shell or scripting examples. Additionally, the PowerShell option is described as an 'alternative automation method' without clarifying cross-platform compatibility, which may cause friction for non-Windows users.
Recommendations
- Add Bash shell scripting examples alongside PowerShell for automation, especially for common tasks like pool creation and validation.
- Clarify that Azure CLI is cross-platform and can be used on Windows, Linux, and macOS, and consider making this explicit in the documentation.
- If PowerShell is included, mention that PowerShell Core is cross-platform, or provide equivalent Bash or Python automation examples.
- In the 'Option 2' section, rename it to 'PowerShell (Windows and cross-platform)' and add a note about PowerShell Core compatibility, or provide a Linux/macOS alternative.
- Ensure that any references to scripting or automation do not assume a Windows environment by default.
