Summary
Although the documentation is focused on Linux VMs, there are several signs of Windows bias. PowerShell examples and references to Windows tools (e.g., PowerShell cmdlets, Windows-specific notes) are prominent and often precede or outnumber Linux/CLI examples. REST and ARM template examples use Windows-centric scripts (e.g., Write-Host, .ps1 files) without Linux shell script equivalents. Some explanations and notes reference Windows behaviors or tools before Linux, and some features (like SAS token generation) are described only with PowerShell commands. There are missing Linux shell script examples in several sections, especially in REST and ARM template usage.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux shell script examples alongside PowerShell/.ps1 examples in REST and ARM template sections.
  • Ensure CLI and bash examples are given equal prominence and are not secondary to PowerShell.
  • Clarify when a feature or example is Windows-only, and provide Linux alternatives where possible.
  • Add instructions for generating SAS tokens and managing blobs using Azure CLI or bash, not just PowerShell.
  • Review notes and explanations to ensure Linux behaviors are described first or equally.
