Summary
The documentation provides Azure portal, Azure CLI, and Azure PowerShell instructions for attaching/detaching VMs to/from scale sets. In each code example section, PowerShell is presented as a primary option alongside CLI, and the PowerShell examples use Windows-centric syntax (backticks, cmdlets). The CLI examples are cross-platform, but PowerShell is Windows-first and not natively available on Linux/macOS. Additionally, in troubleshooting, links for disk migration and proximity placement group removal point to Windows VM documentation, even though the feature is not Windows-specific.
Recommendations
  • Clarify that Azure PowerShell can be used cross-platform via PowerShell Core, or provide Bash/shell script equivalents for Linux/macOS users.
  • Where links point to Windows-specific documentation for generic VM features (e.g., managed disk migration, proximity placement group removal), add or reference Linux VM documentation as well.
  • Consider listing CLI examples before PowerShell, as CLI is more universally available across platforms.
  • Explicitly state that all operations can be performed on both Windows and Linux VMs, and provide example commands for both where configuration or parameters differ.
