Summary
The documentation shows a moderate Windows bias. PowerShell examples are provided for every scenario, and in some cases, Windows-specific guest configuration names (e.g., 'WindowsPendingReboot') are used without Linux equivalents. While Azure CLI examples are present (which are cross-platform), the PowerShell tab is always present and sometimes appears before CLI in the tab order. There are no explicit Linux/macOS shell or command-line examples, and some queries are tailored to Windows resources without mentioning Linux alternatives.
Recommendations
- Add explicit Bash/Linux/macOS shell examples where appropriate, especially for Azure CLI commands.
- When referencing guest configuration assignments, provide both Windows and Linux assignment names (e.g., show both 'WindowsPendingReboot' and any Linux equivalents).
- Ensure that Linux-specific scenarios are covered with their own queries and examples, not just Windows ones.
- Consider making Azure CLI the default or first example, as it is cross-platform.
- Clarify in the documentation that Azure CLI commands work on all platforms, and provide any platform-specific notes if necessary.
