Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and PowerShell examples for creating VMs from specialized images, but the PowerShell examples are notably more detailed, including full network setup and VM configuration, while the CLI examples are more minimal. PowerShell is a Windows-centric tool, and the documentation does not provide equivalent Linux shell scripting examples (e.g., Bash with Azure CLI), nor does it mention Linux-specific patterns or tools. In several sections, PowerShell examples are given with more context and steps than CLI, and the PowerShell tabs appear before Portal tabs, suggesting a Windows-first approach. There are no explicit Linux shell script examples or guidance for Linux/macOS users beyond the CLI commands.
Recommendations
  • Provide full Bash shell script examples using Azure CLI, matching the detail level of the PowerShell examples (including network setup, NIC creation, etc.).
  • Add notes or guidance for Linux/macOS users regarding environment setup, authentication, and scripting best practices.
  • Ensure parity in example complexity and completeness between PowerShell and CLI sections.
  • Consider reordering tabs so CLI (cross-platform) examples appear before PowerShell (Windows-centric) examples.
  • Explicitly mention that Azure CLI works on Linux/macOS and provide troubleshooting tips for those platforms.
