Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and PowerShell examples for enabling Automatic Zone Balance on Virtual Machine Scale Sets. However, PowerShell examples are consistently presented alongside or immediately after CLI examples, and in some cases, the PowerShell extension used is 'ApplicationHealthWindows', which may be confusing for Linux users. The documentation does not provide Linux shell-specific examples (e.g., Bash scripts), but since Azure CLI is cross-platform, Linux users are not blocked. There is a slight bias in the ordering and in the PowerShell-centric explanations, but Linux parity is largely maintained.
Recommendations
- Clarify in PowerShell examples when the extension is for Windows VMs and provide the correct extension name for Linux VMs if different.
- Explicitly state that Azure CLI commands work on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and recommend CLI for cross-platform usage.
- Consider providing a Bash script example for end-to-end automation on Linux.
- In PowerShell examples, mention that PowerShell Core is available cross-platform, or clarify if examples require Windows PowerShell.
- Ensure that the Application Health extension example in PowerShell uses 'ApplicationHealthLinux' when the VM image is Linux, to avoid confusion.
