Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and PowerShell examples for creating VMs from generalized images in a gallery. However, PowerShell examples are exclusively Windows-focused, with all sample code using Windows-specific parameters (e.g., Set-AzVMOperatingSystem -Windows), and there are no PowerShell examples for Linux VM creation. Additionally, in the full parameter set, network security rules are configured for RDP (port 3389), which is Windows-specific, and the PowerShell code always prompts for a password (typical for Windows VMs). The CLI examples do mention Linux and SSH keys, but the PowerShell sections do not provide Linux parity. REST and Portal instructions do cover both OS types, but Windows examples and terminology often appear first or exclusively in PowerShell sections.
Recommendations
- Add PowerShell examples for creating Linux VMs, including usage of Set-AzVMOperatingSystem -Linux and SSH key authentication.
- In PowerShell networking examples, include security rules for SSH (port 22) alongside or instead of RDP (port 3389) when demonstrating Linux VM creation.
- Ensure that both CLI and PowerShell tabs consistently show both Linux and Windows scenarios, or clearly indicate when an example is OS-specific.
- In summary and instructional text, avoid implying that PowerShell is only for Windows VM creation; clarify its cross-platform capabilities.
