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 shell (bash) example. The CLI example uses an Ubuntu image, but does not show Linux-specific shell usage or mention Linux tooling. The PowerShell section is detailed and uses Windows-centric SDK objects, while Linux users are expected to use the CLI or ARM templates without further guidance. The order of presentation (CLI, then PowerShell) is neutral, but the lack of explicit Linux shell examples and the presence of detailed PowerShell instructions indicate a mild Windows bias.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit bash shell examples for Linux/macOS users, showing how to use az vm create and az vm list-skus in a Linux terminal.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI commands work on all platforms and provide notes or examples for Linux/macOS environments.
  • Reduce reliance on PowerShell SDK object manipulation, or provide equivalent scripting examples for Linux (e.g., using Azure CLI with jq or other Linux tools).
  • Consider presenting CLI and ARM template examples before PowerShell, or grouping them by platform.
