Summary
The documentation is focused on Azure Disk Encryption for Linux VMs and provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples throughout. However, PowerShell cmdlets and scripts are often mentioned first, and some critical instructions (such as backup requirements and encryption prerequisites) reference PowerShell cmdlets before their CLI equivalents. There is also frequent use of PowerShell-specific terminology and patterns, which may create friction for Linux users who typically prefer CLI or shell scripting. Nevertheless, CLI examples are present for all major operations, and the documentation is not Windows-exclusive.
Recommendations
  • Ensure Azure CLI examples are presented before or alongside PowerShell examples, especially in critical sections.
  • Clarify that PowerShell can be used cross-platform, but highlight that Azure CLI is the native tool for Linux environments.
  • Reduce PowerShell-specific terminology in general Linux-focused documentation, or provide equivalent Bash/shell scripting guidance.
  • Add explicit notes or guidance for Linux users on how to use Azure CLI in native shells, not just in PowerShell sessions.
  • Where possible, provide Bash script examples for common automation scenarios.
