Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and PowerShell examples for creating VMs from generalized images, but the PowerShell sections are heavily focused on Windows VM creation. In several PowerShell examples, the use of Set-AzVMOperatingSystem -Windows is shown by default, and there is no equivalent example for Linux VM creation using PowerShell. Additionally, the PowerShell examples consistently show Windows configuration first and exclusively, while CLI examples are more Linux-focused. The REST and Portal sections provide parity for both OS types, but PowerShell users on Linux/macOS may find the guidance lacking.
Recommendations
- Add PowerShell examples for creating Linux VMs, using Set-AzVMOperatingSystem -Linux and appropriate credential handling.
- Include comments or notes in PowerShell sections to clarify how to adapt examples for Linux VMs.
- Where PowerShell is used, show both Windows and Linux VM creation patterns, or link to Linux-specific PowerShell guidance.
- Ensure that introductory text in PowerShell sections does not imply Windows is the only supported OS.
