Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. PowerShell is frequently used for scripting and verification tasks, with Windows-centric examples (e.g., .ps1 scripts, PowerShell DSC extensions) and references to Windows VM images. While Azure CLI examples are present, PowerShell commands are often shown first or exclusively for some tasks. There is little mention of Linux/macOS-specific tools, and examples for Linux VM images, extensions, or scripting are missing.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Bash/Azure CLI examples for all PowerShell scripts, especially for verifying template functions and resource providers.
  • Include Linux VM image examples alongside Windows ones in template snippets.
  • Show how to use Linux-based VM extensions (e.g., Custom Script for Linux) and reference Linux shell scripts in examples.
  • Clarify that all CLI commands work cross-platform and highlight any platform-specific differences.
  • Balance the order of examples so Azure CLI and Linux scenarios are presented before or alongside Windows/PowerShell ones.
