Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias by providing detailed instructions and examples for PowerShell, a Windows-centric tool, without offering equivalent examples for Linux/macOS users (e.g., Bash, Azure CLI). The PowerShell method is presented first and in more detail, while no Linux-native scripting or cross-platform CLI alternatives are discussed. This may create friction for non-Windows users attempting to automate VM imports.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent examples using Azure CLI, which is cross-platform and widely used on Linux/macOS.
- Provide Bash script samples for Linux users, or at least describe how to invoke the REST API using curl or similar tools.
- Explicitly state platform requirements or limitations for the PowerShell script, and suggest alternatives for Linux/macOS.
- Reorder or balance the presentation so that REST API and CLI methods are shown before or alongside PowerShell, to avoid Windows-first bias.
