Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and PowerShell examples for enabling Automatic Zone Balance on Virtual Machine Scale Sets. However, PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) is consistently presented alongside CLI, and in some sections, PowerShell examples are shown before or with equal prominence to CLI. The Application Health extension examples use 'ApplicationHealthWindows' in PowerShell, while CLI uses 'ApplicationHealthLinux', but there is no explicit explanation or parity guidance for Linux/macOS users regarding PowerShell alternatives or cross-platform scripting. Additionally, the portal instructions reference screenshots and steps that may be more familiar to Windows users, but do not exclude Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations
  • Clarify that Azure PowerShell is cross-platform, but provide explicit guidance for Linux/macOS users (e.g., installation links, usage notes).
  • Ensure that CLI examples are presented before PowerShell, as Azure CLI is natively cross-platform.
  • Add notes or links for Linux/macOS users on how to use Azure CLI and PowerShell in their environments.
  • Where extensions differ (e.g., ApplicationHealthWindows vs ApplicationHealthLinux), explain the distinction and provide both examples in each scripting section.
  • Consider including Bash shell scripting examples for common automation scenarios.
