Summary
The documentation demonstrates a notable Windows bias, especially in the section on swapping OS disks, where only PowerShell commands are provided and referenced. The use of PowerShell and references to Windows-specific articles (e.g., changing OS disks using PowerShell) are prominent, with no equivalent Bash, Azure CLI, or Linux/macOS instructions. While AzCopy is cross-platform, its usage is only shown within a PowerShell context, and the overall workflow assumes familiarity with Windows tooling.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Azure CLI and/or Bash examples for disk operations, especially for swapping OS disks and using AzCopy.
  • Reference cross-platform documentation for tasks like changing the OS disk, not just Windows/PowerShell-specific articles.
  • Clarify that AzCopy can be used on Linux/macOS and provide example commands in Bash.
  • Where PowerShell is used, add a parallel section or code block for Linux/macOS users.
  • Explicitly mention that all steps can be performed from Azure Cloud Shell (which supports Bash and PowerShell) and show both options.
