Summary
The documentation provides ARM template examples for both Linux and Windows VM extensions, but all deployment command examples use Azure PowerShell exclusively, with no Azure CLI or Bash alternatives. This creates friction for Linux/macOS users who may prefer or require CLI or Bash-based workflows. Additionally, file path examples use Windows-style paths (e.g., D:\Azure\Templates), and the Windows custom script extension example hardcodes PowerShell usage, with no mention of Bash or shell alternatives for Linux. The documentation does mention that extensions can be deployed to Linux or Windows machines, but the operational instructions are Windows-centric.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent Azure CLI deployment commands alongside PowerShell examples, especially for deploying ARM templates.
- Include Linux/macOS file path examples (e.g., /home/user/Azure/Templates) where relevant.
- Clarify that the commandToExecute parameter for Linux custom script extensions should use shell commands (e.g., bash script.sh), and provide an explicit example.
- Add a note or section on how to perform these deployments from Linux/macOS environments, including prerequisites (e.g., Azure CLI installation).
