Summary
The documentation provides detailed instructions and examples for importing VMs using PowerShell, a Windows-centric tool, with no mention of Linux/macOS alternatives (such as Bash, Azure CLI, or cross-platform scripting). The PowerShell method is presented first and in more detail, while the REST API section is less detailed and lacks platform-specific guidance for Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent examples using Azure CLI, which is cross-platform and widely used on Linux/macOS.
- Provide Bash script samples for the REST API call, including usage of curl or httpie.
- Explicitly state that PowerShell Core is available on Linux/macOS, and clarify if the provided script works on those platforms.
- Reorder sections or add parity so that Linux/macOS-friendly methods are presented alongside or before Windows-specific tools.
