Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and PowerShell examples for all major steps, but the CLI examples consistently use Windows-centric defaults (e.g., Win2016Datacenter as the VM image, password authentication, and variable syntax). There are no explicit Linux-specific examples (such as using a Linux VM image or SSH authentication), and PowerShell is given equal prominence to Azure CLI, which may not be as relevant for Linux/macOS users. The documentation does not provide any Bash scripting or Linux-native command-line patterns, and all variable examples and VM creation scripts default to Windows VMs.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Linux VM deployment examples in the Azure CLI sections (e.g., use Ubuntu or CentOS images, SSH authentication).
  • Clarify that Azure CLI commands are cross-platform and provide Bash-friendly variable syntax where appropriate.
  • Include at least one end-to-end example for deploying and attaching a Premium SSD v2 disk to a Linux VM.
  • In the PowerShell sections, clarify that these are primarily for Windows users, and recommend Azure CLI for Linux/macOS users.
  • In the 'Next steps' section, ensure Linux and Windows parity in links and instructions.
