Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and PowerShell examples for configuring VM vCore customization, but the PowerShell example is given equal prominence to the CLI example, and there is no explicit Linux/macOS shell example (e.g., Bash). The CLI example uses Ubuntu as the image, but does not show Linux-specific verification steps or mention Linux tooling for post-deployment validation. The PowerShell section is detailed and uses Windows-centric SDK objects, which may be less familiar to Linux/macOS users. The order of examples (CLI, then PowerShell) is reasonable, but the lack of Linux/macOS shell-specific instructions and verification creates mild friction for non-Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Bash shell examples for Linux/macOS users, especially for post-deployment verification of vCPU and SMT settings.
  • Include instructions or commands (e.g., lscpu, nproc) to verify CPU configuration inside a Linux VM after deployment.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI works cross-platform and can be run from Linux/macOS, and provide guidance for those environments.
  • Consider reducing the emphasis on PowerShell SDK object manipulation, or provide equivalent automation examples for Linux (e.g., using az CLI with JSON templates or shell scripting).
