Summary
The documentation provides examples for Azure CLI, Azure PowerShell, Azure Portal, and ARM templates. PowerShell examples are given equal prominence to CLI, and the PowerShell tab is present, which is Windows-centric. The ARM template example is for Linux, but the link to the Windows template is given immediately after, suggesting parity. No Linux/macOS-specific tools or shell examples (e.g., Bash, SSH, cloud-init) are provided, and PowerShell is presented as a primary automation method, which is Windows-biased. The CLI examples are cross-platform, but PowerShell is not available natively on most Linux distributions. The ordering of tabs is Portal, CLI, PowerShell, Resource Manager, which puts Windows-centric tools before Linux-centric ones.
Recommendations
- Add explicit Bash or shell script examples for Linux/macOS users, especially for automation tasks.
- Clarify that Azure CLI commands work equally well on Linux/macOS and Windows.
- Consider adding cloud-init or SSH-based configuration examples for Linux VMs.
- Note that PowerShell is not native to Linux/macOS and provide installation guidance or alternatives.
- Reorder tabs to put CLI (cross-platform) before PowerShell (Windows-centric), or clarify parity.
- Ensure ARM template examples alternate between Linux and Windows, or provide both side-by-side.
