Summary
The documentation is focused on Linux VM extensions, but consistently presents both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for nearly every task. PowerShell examples are always present, even though PowerShell is primarily a Windows-centric tool (though available on Linux). In several sections, PowerShell examples are shown immediately after CLI, and the introductory text mentions PowerShell alongside CLI, ARM templates, and portal. However, all actual extension usage and scripting examples are Linux-focused, and there are no Windows-only tools or commands. The documentation does not omit Linux examples, but the presence and prominence of PowerShell may create friction for Linux users who do not use PowerShell.
Recommendations
  • Consider clarifying that Azure PowerShell is cross-platform, but that Azure CLI is the primary tool for Linux users.
  • Present Azure CLI examples first in all sections, and consider making PowerShell examples secondary or optional (e.g., in expandable tabs).
  • Explicitly mention Bash or shell scripting as the default for Linux, and highlight Linux-native tools where relevant.
  • Where possible, provide Bash script examples for common extension management tasks (e.g., using az CLI in shell scripts).
