Summary
The documentation provides Azure portal, Azure CLI, and Azure PowerShell instructions for attaching and detaching VMs to/from scale sets. In each case, Azure PowerShell examples are given equal prominence to Azure CLI, and PowerShell is a Windows-centric tool. The CLI examples use Ubuntu images, showing Linux is supported, but PowerShell is always listed as a primary method, and examples are not explicitly labeled as Windows-only. The troubleshooting section links to some Windows-specific docs (e.g., converting unmanaged disks, proximity placement groups) without Linux equivalents or clarifying applicability.
Recommendations
  • Clearly label Azure PowerShell examples as Windows-only, and note that PowerShell is primarily for Windows users.
  • Provide Bash or shell script equivalents for Linux/macOS users where PowerShell is shown.
  • Ensure troubleshooting links and migration steps reference both Windows and Linux documentation where applicable (e.g., disk migration, proximity placement group removal).
  • Consider listing Azure CLI examples before PowerShell, as CLI is cross-platform.
  • Add a brief note at the top clarifying that Azure CLI is recommended for Linux/macOS users, while PowerShell is for Windows.
