Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI (cross-platform) and PowerShell (Windows-centric) examples for all major operations. However, PowerShell examples are consistently presented after CLI, and both are given equal prominence. There are no Linux-specific shell (bash) or scripting examples, but the CLI examples use Linux images and Application Health extensions for Linux, which helps parity. The PowerShell examples use the ApplicationHealthWindows extension, which could confuse Linux users. There are no references to Windows-only tools, but PowerShell is a Windows-first automation tool. No critical steps are Windows-only, and all tasks can be completed with CLI or REST API.
Recommendations
  • Clarify in PowerShell examples when the ApplicationHealthWindows extension is used, and provide a Linux equivalent (ApplicationHealthLinux) if the VMSS is Linux-based.
  • Add a short note at the start of each section explaining that Azure CLI is cross-platform and recommended for Linux/macOS users.
  • Consider including bash script snippets for common tasks to further improve Linux parity.
  • In PowerShell examples, explicitly mention that PowerShell Core is available cross-platform, or clarify if examples are only for Windows.
  • Ensure that the documentation does not default to Windows-centric extension types (like ApplicationHealthWindows) in generic examples.
