Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for deploying ZRS managed disks. However, PowerShell examples are extensive, use Windows-specific patterns (e.g., ConvertTo-SecureString, System.Management.Automation.PSCredential), and are presented immediately after the Azure CLI section. Resource Manager Template examples are also shown using PowerShell commands for deployment, rather than cross-platform CLI or ARM template JSON. The 'Next steps' section links to a PowerShell-focused sample repository. There is no explicit Linux/macOS bias, but Windows/PowerShell tools and patterns are featured heavily and often first.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Linux/macOS guidance for running Azure CLI commands, including notes about shell differences and SSH key generation.
  • Provide Resource Manager Template deployment examples using Azure CLI (az deployment group create) instead of only PowerShell.
  • Clarify that PowerShell examples are for Windows users, and suggest cross-platform alternatives for Linux/macOS users.
  • Link to cross-platform sample repositories or documentation in 'Next steps', not only PowerShell-focused resources.
  • Consider balancing the order of examples so that CLI and PowerShell are presented equally, or alternate which comes first.
