Summary
The documentation, while focused on Linux VMs, consistently presents PowerShell examples and instructions alongside Azure CLI and Portal, with PowerShell often described in detail and referenced as a primary tool for deployment and management. PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) is given equal or greater prominence than Azure CLI, and instructions for deploying ARM templates mention PowerShell before CLI. There are no native Linux shell (bash, sh) or scripting examples, and no mention of Linux package managers or Linux-specific troubleshooting. The use of PowerShell and references to installing Azure PowerShell locally may create friction for Linux/macOS users who prefer native CLI or shell environments.
Recommendations
  • Prioritize Azure CLI examples over PowerShell, or present CLI first, as CLI is cross-platform and native to Linux/macOS.
  • Remove or minimize references to installing Azure PowerShell locally for Linux-focused documentation; instead, highlight Azure CLI installation and usage.
  • Add bash/sh scripting examples for common tasks, such as installing or listing extensions, to improve accessibility for Linux users.
  • Clarify that all management tasks can be performed via Azure CLI and Portal, and that PowerShell is optional.
  • Include troubleshooting steps or tips specific to Linux environments.
