Summary
The documentation page is focused on Linux VMs, but PowerShell is heavily featured as a primary automation tool, with detailed instructions and examples for Azure PowerShell cmdlets. Azure PowerShell is a Windows-centric tool, and its usage is described before Azure CLI in several sections. There are also references to installing Azure PowerShell locally, which is most straightforward on Windows. The documentation does provide Azure CLI examples, but PowerShell is given equal or greater prominence, and there are no bash or shell script examples. The use of PowerShell as the main scripting interface may create friction for Linux/macOS users who prefer native shell environments.
Recommendations
  • Prioritize Azure CLI examples before PowerShell in all sections, as CLI is cross-platform and native to Linux/macOS.
  • Add bash or shell script examples for common tasks, especially for listing, installing, and uninstalling extensions.
  • Clarify that Azure PowerShell can be run on Linux/macOS, but recommend Azure CLI for Linux users.
  • Where PowerShell is mentioned, provide equivalent bash/CLI commands side-by-side for parity.
  • Remove or minimize references to installing Azure PowerShell locally unless specifically relevant to Linux users.
