Summary
The documentation is focused on running scripts in Azure Linux VMs, but it exhibits several Windows biases. PowerShell examples and tools (e.g., Set-AzVMRunCommand, Get-AzVMRunCommand, New-AzStorageBlobSASToken) are heavily featured and often presented before or alongside Azure CLI examples. Some explanations and sample scripts reference Windows-specific concepts (e.g., 'ipconfig', 'myscript.ps1', 'Secondary Logon' service) without clear Linux equivalents or clarification. REST API and ARM template examples use Windows-style scripts (PowerShell) and file extensions (.ps1) instead of Linux shell scripts (.sh), and there are missing Linux-specific examples for certain advanced scenarios (e.g., parameter passing, blob streaming, sequential execution).
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux shell script (.sh) examples in REST API and ARM template sections instead of or alongside PowerShell (.ps1) scripts.
  • Clarify when a command or parameter is Windows-only, and offer Linux equivalents where possible (e.g., replace 'ipconfig' with 'ifconfig' or 'ip a' for Linux).
  • Use Linux tools and patterns (e.g., az CLI, bash scripting, Linux file extensions) as the default or primary examples, especially since the page is Linux-focused.
  • Add explicit Linux-focused walkthroughs for advanced scenarios (e.g., streaming output to blobs, parameter passing, running as a different user) using Azure CLI and bash.
  • Ensure terminology and instructions are Linux-centric (e.g., referencing Linux user management, not Windows services like 'Secondary Logon').
