Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and PowerShell examples for deploying Premium SSD v2 managed disks, but all CLI and PowerShell code samples use Windows VM images (e.g., 'Win2016Datacenter') and Windows-centric authentication (username/password), with no Linux VM image or SSH authentication examples. This creates a subtle Windows bias, as Linux users must adapt the examples themselves. Additionally, the VM creation examples consistently use Windows images first, and do not mention Linux-specific considerations or provide parity for Linux VM deployment.
Recommendations
  • Include Linux VM deployment examples alongside Windows examples in CLI and PowerShell sections (e.g., use 'UbuntuLTS' or other Linux images, and demonstrate SSH key authentication).
  • Explicitly mention that the CLI and PowerShell commands work for both Windows and Linux VMs, and highlight any differences in disk attachment or sector size compatibility.
  • Alternate or parallel example blocks for Windows and Linux VM creation, making it clear how to adapt for either OS.
  • Add notes or links to Linux-specific documentation where relevant (e.g., disk formatting, mounting, sector size compatibility).
