Summary
The documentation provides both CLI and PowerShell examples for creating VMs from generalized images in an Azure Compute Gallery. However, the PowerShell examples are exclusively for Windows, with commands like Set-AzVMOperatingSystem -Windows and prompts for Windows credentials. There are no PowerShell examples for Linux VM creation, nor guidance for Linux-specific PowerShell usage. In CLI and REST sections, Linux is shown first, but PowerShell sections always default to Windows. This creates friction for Linux users who prefer PowerShell or need parity in automation scripts.
Recommendations
- Add PowerShell examples for creating Linux VMs, using Set-AzVMOperatingSystem -Linux and appropriate credential handling.
- Explicitly mention how to adapt PowerShell scripts for Linux VM creation, including SSH key configuration and Linux-specific parameters.
- Ensure that both Windows and Linux scenarios are covered equally in PowerShell sections, similar to the parity shown in CLI and REST examples.
- Consider adding a table or note summarizing differences in PowerShell usage for Windows vs. Linux VM creation.
