Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and PowerShell examples for creating VMs from generalized images, but PowerShell coverage is extensive and primarily Windows-focused. In PowerShell sections, Windows VM creation is shown by default, with explicit use of Windows-specific parameters (e.g., Set-AzVMOperatingSystem -Windows). Linux VM creation via PowerShell is not demonstrated, and Windows-centric networking (RDP port rules) is prominent. CLI examples do show Linux VM creation and SSH key usage, but PowerShell examples are Windows-first and lack Linux parity. REST and Portal instructions are generally neutral, but password requirements link to Windows documentation.
Recommendations
  • Add PowerShell examples for creating Linux VMs, including use of Set-AzVMOperatingSystem -Linux and SSH key authentication.
  • In PowerShell networking examples, show how to allow SSH (port 22) for Linux VMs, not just RDP (port 3389) for Windows.
  • Where possible, present Linux and Windows examples side-by-side in PowerShell sections, or clarify how to adapt commands for Linux.
  • In password requirement links, reference both Windows and Linux complexity requirements, or clarify when requirements are OS-specific.
