Summary
The documentation provides both Linux (Bash/Python) and Windows (PowerShell) examples for configuring the application health extension response and installation. However, there are several instances where Windows/PowerShell examples are presented before or alongside Linux equivalents, and PowerShell is given equal prominence to Bash, which may create minor friction for Linux/macOS users. The extension installation and querying sections use both Azure CLI and PowerShell, but PowerShell is not relegated to a secondary position, and the REST API is presented last. There are no critical omissions of Linux instructions, and the documentation explicitly supports both ApplicationHealthLinux and ApplicationHealthWindows extension types.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux/Bash/Azure CLI examples before Windows/PowerShell examples in each tabbed section to reflect the majority usage on Azure and avoid implicit prioritization of Windows.
  • Clarify in introductory sections that all steps and features apply equally to both Linux and Windows VMSS instances.
  • Where possible, add explicit macOS notes or examples (e.g., for running the Python HTTP server) to further improve parity.
  • Ensure that REST API examples use ApplicationHealthLinux in at least one snippet to reinforce Linux support.
  • Consider grouping CLI and Bash examples together, and PowerShell separately, to make it easier for Linux/macOS users to follow.
