Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for each query, as well as portal links. However, PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) is always given equal prominence to Azure CLI, and in some cases, the PowerShell tab appears before the CLI tab. There are several queries and explanations that reference Windows Server or Windows-specific concepts (e.g., KB IDs, Windows patching), while Linux-specific queries are less frequent and less detailed. The documentation does not provide any Linux shell (bash) or scripting examples, nor does it mention Linux-native tools or patterns outside of Azure CLI. In sections about OS updates, Windows is often the default or first example, with Linux-specific queries appearing later or as exceptions.
Recommendations
- Ensure that Azure CLI (cross-platform) examples are always listed before PowerShell, or at least given equal prominence.
- Add Linux shell (bash) scripting examples where appropriate, especially for automation scenarios.
- When referencing OS updates or patching, provide parallel and equally detailed examples for both Windows and Linux, including explanations of Linux-specific fields (e.g., package versions, classifications).
- Avoid using Windows-specific terminology (like KB IDs) without also explaining or providing Linux equivalents.
- Where possible, mention Linux-native tools or patterns (e.g., jq for JSON parsing, grep/awk for filtering) in addition to Azure CLI.
- Audit for sections where only Windows or PowerShell is mentioned, and add Linux alternatives or clarify cross-platform applicability.
