Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and PowerShell examples for creating VMs from generalized images in an Azure Compute Gallery. However, PowerShell examples are heavily focused on Windows workflows, with parameters and cmdlets (e.g., Set-AzVMOperatingSystem -Windows) that are specific to Windows VM creation. Windows-centric networking (RDP port 3389) and credential prompts are shown by default. In several sections, Windows VM creation is described first or exclusively in PowerShell, while Linux is only mentioned as an alternative in CLI examples. There is limited guidance for Linux VM creation using PowerShell, and the REST and Portal instructions tend to treat Windows and Linux equally, but PowerShell sections are notably Windows-biased.
Recommendations
- Add explicit PowerShell examples for creating Linux VMs, including the use of Set-AzVMOperatingSystem -Linux and SSH key authentication.
- In PowerShell code blocks, clarify which parameters or cmdlets are for Windows and which are for Linux, and provide both variants.
- When showing networking rules, include examples for both SSH (port 22) and RDP (port 3389), not just RDP.
- Ensure that Linux VM creation is described with equal prominence in PowerShell sections, not just as a CLI alternative.
- Consider alternating the order of Windows and Linux examples, or grouping them together for parity.
