Summary
The documentation consistently provides PowerShell examples for command-line operations (add, remove, scale, configure node types), but does not mention or provide equivalent examples for cross-platform tools such as Azure CLI, Bash, or scripting for Linux/macOS users. PowerShell is referenced as the only scripting interface outside of ARM templates and the Portal, and is listed before ARM templates in some sections. There is no mention of Azure CLI, which is widely used on Linux/macOS. This creates friction for non-Windows users who may not have access to or familiarity with PowerShell.
Recommendations
  • Add Azure CLI examples for all operations currently shown with PowerShell, as Azure CLI is cross-platform and widely used on Linux/macOS.
  • Explicitly state that PowerShell examples can be run on any OS using PowerShell Core, or provide Bash scripting equivalents where appropriate.
  • In each section, present Azure CLI and PowerShell examples together, or at least mention both, to avoid Windows-first ordering.
  • Clarify if any operation is only possible with PowerShell and not Azure CLI, and provide guidance for Linux/macOS users in such cases.
