Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias: all deployment examples use Azure PowerShell, with no Azure CLI or Bash equivalents shown. The template specifically deploys a Windows VM, and PowerShell is presented as the primary method for both deployment and cleanup, with only passing mention of Azure CLI, REST API, or portal alternatives. Linux/macOS users are left to infer how to adapt the instructions for their platforms.
Recommendations
  • Provide Azure CLI and Bash examples for template deployment and cleanup, shown alongside PowerShell.
  • Explicitly mention cross-platform compatibility for Azure Cloud Shell (which supports both Bash and PowerShell).
  • Offer a Linux VM template example or clarify how to adapt the template for Linux VMs.
  • Reorder or parallelize instructions so that Windows and Linux/macOS users see relevant examples for their platforms.
  • Link directly to CLI and Bash documentation for each major step, not just as a footnote.
