Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows and PowerShell. All examples use Azure PowerShell cmdlets, with no mention of Azure CLI, Bash, or Linux/macOS workflows. The VM creation steps exclusively use Windows Server images, and there are no instructions for deploying Linux VMs or using Linux-native tools. This creates friction for Linux/macOS users and may prevent them from following the guide without significant adaptation.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Azure CLI (az) examples alongside PowerShell for all resource creation steps.
  • Include instructions and examples for deploying Linux VMs (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS) in addition to Windows Server.
  • Mention and demonstrate usage from Bash or Cloud Shell (Bash) environments, not just PowerShell.
  • Clarify which steps are platform-agnostic and which are Windows-specific, and provide Linux/macOS alternatives where needed.
  • Add notes or links to Linux/macOS documentation for installing and using Azure CLI.
