Summary
The documentation provides parity for both Linux and Windows VMs, with clear indications that Trusted launch applies to both. However, there is a mild Windows bias in the tooling examples: PowerShell is given its own section and is used for ARM template deployment and VM deallocation, while Linux-native tools (such as Bash or shell scripting) are not referenced for these tasks. Additionally, PowerShell examples are shown alongside CLI and portal, but the PowerShell section is not explicitly labeled as Windows-only, despite PowerShell Core being cross-platform. In some cases, PowerShell is used for tasks where Azure CLI or Bash could be equally applicable, and PowerShell is referenced first for ARM template deployment. The documentation does mention SSH for Linux and RDP for Windows, and includes a Linux-specific best practice (SBInfo tool), but overall, Windows tooling is slightly favored.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Bash/shell scripting examples for ARM template deployment and VM deallocation/start, especially for Linux/macOS users.
  • Clarify that PowerShell examples are compatible with PowerShell Core on Linux/macOS, or provide alternative Bash/CLI commands where possible.
  • Ensure that CLI and Bash examples are presented before or alongside PowerShell, rather than PowerShell being the default for template deployment.
  • Where PowerShell is used, note its cross-platform support, or link to documentation for using PowerShell on Linux/macOS.
