Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and PowerShell examples for configuring VM vCore customization. However, the PowerShell example is given equal prominence to the CLI example, and the CLI example uses Ubuntu as the image, but does not show any Linux-specific post-deployment steps or verification. There are no Linux shell (bash) examples for checking the resulting vCPU configuration inside the VM, nor are there instructions for Linux users to verify or interact with the settings post-deployment. The PowerShell section is detailed and uses Windows-centric SDK objects, while Linux users are not given parity in terms of OS-level verification or scripting.
Recommendations
  • Add Linux shell (bash) examples for verifying vCPU and SMT status inside the VM after deployment (e.g., using lscpu or /proc/cpuinfo).
  • Include a section with Linux-specific post-deployment steps to confirm the configuration.
  • Provide parity in scripting examples, such as showing how to automate VM creation and verification using bash scripts.
  • Clarify that the Azure CLI is cross-platform and can be used on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and provide links to installation instructions for each OS.
