Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and PowerShell examples for creating VMs from generalized images in a gallery. While CLI examples are generally cross-platform and default to Linux VM creation (using SSH keys), the PowerShell examples are Windows-centric: they use Windows-specific cmdlets and always configure the VM OS as Windows, with no PowerShell example for Linux VM creation. Additionally, in the PowerShell sections, the VM configuration uses Set-AzVMOperatingSystem -Windows, and there is no mention of how to create a Linux VM using PowerShell. REST and CLI examples do show both Linux and Windows options, but PowerShell guidance is Windows-first and Windows-only.
Recommendations
  • Add PowerShell examples for creating Linux VMs, using Set-AzVMOperatingSystem -Linux and appropriate credential handling.
  • In PowerShell sections, clarify how to create either Linux or Windows VMs, and provide both code samples.
  • In introductory text for PowerShell, mention Linux support and link to Linux-specific guidance if available.
  • Review the order of examples to ensure Linux and Windows parity in all scripting sections.
