Summary
The documentation page exhibits a notable Windows bias. All virtual machine deployment examples use Windows Server images exclusively, with no mention of Linux VM images or SSH access. The PowerShell section is extensive and detailed, using Windows-centric tools and patterns (e.g., RDP, Get-Credential), while the Azure CLI section also defaults to Windows VM images. There are no examples or instructions for deploying Linux VMs, configuring SSH access, or using Linux-friendly tools. The documentation assumes RDP as the remote access method, which is not applicable to Linux VMs.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Linux VM deployment examples in both Azure CLI and PowerShell sections, using images such as Ubuntu or CentOS.
  • Include instructions for configuring SSH access (e.g., generating and using SSH keys) alongside or instead of RDP for Linux VMs.
  • When presenting VM creation commands, show both Windows and Linux image options, or use tabs/switches for OS choice.
  • Mention Linux-friendly remote access tools and patterns (e.g., SSH, cloud-init) where appropriate.
  • Ensure that network security group rules include SSH (port 22) examples, not just RDP (port 3389).
  • Review all PowerShell examples for Windows-specific assumptions and provide Linux alternatives where needed.
