Summary
The documentation is primarily focused on Linux VMs, but there is notable Windows bias in several areas. PowerShell examples and tools (e.g., Set-AzVMRunCommand, Get-AzVMRunCommand, New-AzStorageBlobSASToken) are heavily featured, sometimes with Windows-specific notes and terminology. REST and ARM template examples occasionally use Windows-centric script syntax (e.g., Write-Host, .ps1 files) and refer to Windows behaviors. In some sections, Windows tools and patterns (PowerShell, SAS token generation) are mentioned before or instead of Linux-native alternatives. However, the Azure CLI section is well-represented for Linux users, and most examples are applicable to Linux VMs.
Recommendations
  • Ensure REST and ARM template examples use Linux shell script syntax (e.g., 'echo Hello World!' or .sh files) rather than PowerShell/Windows scripts.
  • Clarify when PowerShell examples are cross-platform (usable on macOS/Linux) and when they are Windows-only.
  • Add explicit bash or Linux-native command-line examples for SAS token generation and blob management (e.g., using Azure CLI or azcopy), not just PowerShell.
  • Review notes and parameter descriptions to avoid Windows-centric language (e.g., referencing 'myscript.ps1' or 'Write-Host') when the context is Linux.
  • Where possible, show Linux examples first or equally alongside Windows/PowerShell examples.
