Summary
The documentation provides both Windows (PowerShell) and cross-platform (Azure CLI, REST, ARM/Bicep) examples for configuring and managing automatic OS image upgrades in Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets. However, in several sections, PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) examples are presented before Azure CLI, and some ARM template snippets use Windows images as defaults. There are also multiple references to Windows-specific properties and behaviors, sometimes without equivalent Linux notes. While Linux is supported and examples are present, the ordering and emphasis can create friction for Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations
- Present Azure CLI examples before PowerShell examples, as CLI is cross-platform and more accessible to Linux/macOS users.
- When showing ARM or Bicep template snippets, use a Linux image as the default or provide both Windows and Linux examples.
- Where Windows-specific properties (e.g., enableAutomaticUpdates) are discussed, add clarifying notes about Linux equivalents or state when not applicable.
- Ensure that all sections referencing tools or commands provide parity between Windows and Linux (e.g., Bash scripts, cloud-init, etc.), or explicitly state when a feature is Windows-only.
- Consider adding a table or section summarizing differences or additional steps for Linux users.
