Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and PowerShell examples for creating VMs from specialized images, but the PowerShell examples are significantly more detailed and complex, including full network setup and VM configuration. CLI examples are much shorter and do not cover equivalent steps. PowerShell is a Windows-centric tool, and the lack of parity in example depth may disadvantage Linux/macOS users who rely on CLI or other scripting environments. Additionally, PowerShell examples are presented in every scenario, and in some sections, the PowerShell tab appears before CLI, reinforcing a Windows-first pattern. There are no Bash or Linux-native scripting examples for advanced scenarios.
Recommendations
  • Expand Azure CLI examples to include full VM creation workflows, including network setup and configuration, matching the detail of PowerShell examples.
  • Add Bash shell script examples for Linux/macOS users, especially for advanced scenarios.
  • Ensure CLI examples are presented before or alongside PowerShell examples to avoid a Windows-first impression.
  • Explicitly mention that PowerShell examples are primarily for Windows users and suggest CLI/Bash alternatives for Linux/macOS users.
