Summary
The documentation provides Azure CLI, PowerShell, and ARM template examples for creating scale sets with Availability Zones. While the CLI and ARM template examples are cross-platform, PowerShell (Windows-only) is given equal prominence and detailed examples. The ARM template section links to both Linux and Windows quickstart guides, but the main walkthroughs and update instructions do not provide explicit Linux shell (bash) or macOS examples. Windows/PowerShell tooling is mentioned before Linux equivalents in some sections, and Linux-specific considerations (such as SSH keys or Linux admin users) are not highlighted outside the CLI example.
Recommendations
- Add explicit bash shell examples for Linux/macOS users, especially for update operations and scale set management.
- Clarify in each section which commands are cross-platform and which are Windows-only.
- Ensure Linux and Windows quickstart links are presented together and with equal prominence.
- Consider adding notes or callouts for Linux-specific configuration steps (e.g., SSH keys, admin username conventions).
- Where PowerShell is used, provide equivalent bash/CLI commands for Linux/macOS users.
