Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and PowerShell examples for all major operations, but PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) is consistently presented as a first-class citizen alongside CLI, and in some sections, PowerShell examples are shown before or at parity with CLI. There are no explicit Linux shell script examples, but the CLI examples are cross-platform. The PowerShell examples use Windows-specific extension types (e.g., ApplicationHealthWindows), which may confuse Linux users. However, Linux users can complete all tasks using the Azure CLI or REST API, and the documentation does not block Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations
  • Clarify that Azure CLI examples are fully cross-platform and recommended for Linux/macOS users.
  • In PowerShell examples, clarify when an extension type (e.g., ApplicationHealthWindows) is for Windows VMs and provide the Linux equivalent (e.g., ApplicationHealthLinux) if applicable.
  • Consider presenting Azure CLI examples before PowerShell, as CLI is cross-platform.
  • Explicitly state that all features are available to both Windows and Linux VMSS, unless otherwise noted.
  • Add a note in the prerequisites or intro about tool parity for Linux/macOS users.
