Summary
The documentation provides both Linux and Windows examples in CLI and REST sections, but PowerShell sections are heavily Windows-centric, with all PowerShell VM creation examples defaulting to Windows VMs (using Set-AzVMOperatingSystem -Windows). Windows-specific constructs (e.g., RDP port, Windows credential prompts) are used in PowerShell examples, and Linux VM creation in PowerShell is not shown. In several places, Windows terminology and tools (PowerShell, Windows credential prompts) are presented before or instead of Linux equivalents. However, CLI and REST examples are generally neutral or Linux-first.
Recommendations
  • Add PowerShell examples for creating Linux VMs (using Set-AzVMOperatingSystem -Linux) alongside Windows examples.
  • Clarify in PowerShell sections that both Linux and Windows VMs can be created, and provide parameter variations for Linux.
  • Where possible, avoid defaulting to Windows-specific constructs (e.g., RDP port, Windows credential prompts) in generic VM creation examples.
  • Ensure parity in example coverage for both Linux and Windows across all scripting tabs (CLI, PowerShell, REST).
