Summary
Although the page is focused on Linux VMs, there is notable Windows bias in several areas. PowerShell examples and tooling (e.g., Set-AzVMRunCommand, Get-AzVMRunCommand) are presented extensively, sometimes before or alongside Azure CLI examples. Windows-specific tools and patterns (such as PowerShell scripts, SAS token generation via PowerShell, and REST/ARM template examples referencing .ps1 scripts) are used without Linux/bash equivalents. Some explanations and examples reference Windows behaviors or tools (e.g., 'ipconfig' as a commandId, referencing Windows VM usage, and script examples using Write-Host or .ps1 files), and there are missing Linux/bash script examples in REST and ARM template sections.
Recommendations
  • Ensure REST API and ARM template script examples use Linux/bash scripts (e.g., .sh files, echo/ls/id commands) instead of PowerShell/.ps1.
  • Where PowerShell tooling is referenced, provide equivalent Azure CLI or bash examples for Linux users, especially for SAS token generation and blob operations.
  • Clarify when a command or parameter is Windows-specific (e.g., 'ipconfig' commandId) and provide Linux alternatives (e.g., 'ifconfig', 'ip').
  • In sections describing parameter passing, show explicit Linux/bash script examples and clarify differences in script invocation.
  • Avoid referencing Windows VM behaviors (e.g., 'Secondary Logon' service) unless necessary, and clearly separate Linux and Windows instructions.
  • Present Azure CLI examples before PowerShell, as CLI is more cross-platform and native for Linux users.
