Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and PowerShell examples for creating VMs from generalized images in a gallery. However, PowerShell examples are exclusively shown using Windows VM configuration (Set-AzVMOperatingSystem -Windows), and the full parameter set for PowerShell is Windows-specific. In contrast, CLI examples default to Linux VM creation, with a brief note on how to switch to password authentication for Windows or Linux. The PowerShell tab is always present and detailed, but does not show how to create a Linux VM using PowerShell. Additionally, in the REST examples, both Linux and Windows VM creation are shown, but the PowerShell section is Windows-centric. The ordering of examples sometimes places Windows (PowerShell) before Linux (CLI), and the PowerShell examples do not provide parity for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Add PowerShell examples for creating Linux VMs, including the use of Set-AzVMOperatingSystem -Linux and SSH key authentication.
- Clarify in PowerShell sections that both Windows and Linux VMs can be created, and provide explicit instructions for both.
- Ensure that CLI and PowerShell examples are presented with equal detail for both OS types.
- Consider alternating or grouping examples by OS type, rather than by tool, to avoid implicit prioritization.
