Summary
The documentation provides extensive Azure PowerShell examples and scripts for enabling Write Accelerator, with detailed step-by-step instructions and code. Azure CLI is covered, but with much less detail and fewer examples. The REST API section requires installation of 'armclient' via Chocolatey, a Windows-only package manager, and installation instructions are only for Windows (cmd.exe/PowerShell). There are no Linux-specific installation instructions for 'armclient', nor is there mention of Linux package managers or alternatives. Windows tools and patterns (PowerShell, Chocolatey) are mentioned exclusively or before Linux equivalents. However, the feature itself is cross-platform (Linux and Windows VMs), and Azure CLI and REST API methods are documented, so Linux users can complete the task with some friction.
Recommendations
- Provide parity in example detail for Azure CLI, including full scripts for common scenarios (adding/enabling/disabling Write Accelerator disks).
- For REST API/armclient, include installation instructions for Linux (e.g., via dotnet, manual download, or Linux package managers if available), or mention cross-platform alternatives.
- Clarify that PowerShell examples are usable on Linux via Azure PowerShell (if true), or provide Bash/CLI equivalents.
- Mention that Chocolatey is Windows-only and provide alternative installation methods for Linux/macOS users.
- Where possible, show CLI examples before or alongside PowerShell to avoid Windows-first bias.
