Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for creating and updating scale sets with Availability Zones, but PowerShell examples are given equal prominence to CLI, and in some sections (such as updating scale sets), PowerShell is shown before REST API and ARM template examples. There is a slight 'windows_first' bias in the ordering of example methods and tabs, and PowerShell is featured as a primary automation method alongside CLI, which may create friction for Linux/macOS users who do not use PowerShell.
Recommendations
- Ensure Azure CLI examples are shown before PowerShell in all sections, as CLI is cross-platform and more commonly used by Linux/macOS users.
- Explicitly note that Azure CLI is available on all platforms, while PowerShell is primarily used on Windows (though cross-platform PowerShell exists).
- Where possible, provide Bash shell snippets for CLI usage, and clarify that PowerShell examples are optional for users on non-Windows platforms.
- Review tab ordering and example ordering to ensure CLI and ARM template methods are presented first, followed by PowerShell.
- Add a brief note in the 'Use Azure PowerShell' section indicating that Linux/macOS users may prefer Azure CLI.
