Summary
The documentation provides extensive PowerShell-based instructions and examples for replicating Azure VMs in proximity placement groups, with all CLI automation shown exclusively using Azure PowerShell. There are no Bash, Azure CLI, or Linux-native scripting examples. The prerequisites and guidance for scripting focus on installing and using the Azure PowerShell module, which is most commonly used on Windows. While the portal-based steps are cross-platform, the automation and scripting sections lack Linux parity. Additionally, PowerShell examples are presented before any mention of alternatives, and no Linux-specific tools or patterns are discussed.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent Azure CLI (az) examples for all automation steps, as Azure CLI is cross-platform and widely used on Linux/macOS.
- Include Bash script snippets for common tasks, such as resource group and disk management.
- Explicitly note that Azure PowerShell can be installed and used on Linux/macOS, and provide installation instructions for those platforms.
- Where possible, mention Linux/macOS considerations (e.g., authentication, environment setup) for scripting and automation.
- Ensure screenshots and UI instructions do not assume Windows-only environments.
