Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and PowerShell examples for enabling Automatic Zone Balance on Virtual Machine Scale Sets. However, PowerShell examples are consistently presented alongside or immediately after CLI examples, and Windows-specific PowerShell tooling is referenced throughout. The Application Health extension example in PowerShell uses 'ApplicationHealthWindows', while the CLI uses 'ApplicationHealthLinux', but there is no explicit guidance for Linux users in PowerShell. Portal instructions are platform-neutral, but the PowerShell sections are inherently Windows-centric, and PowerShell is presented as a primary automation option, which may create friction for Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations
  • Clarify that Azure PowerShell is cross-platform and can be used on Linux/macOS, or provide Bash scripting examples where appropriate.
  • Ensure that Application Health extension examples in PowerShell include both Windows and Linux variants, or explain how to use 'ApplicationHealthLinux' in PowerShell.
  • Consider presenting CLI (Bash) examples before PowerShell, or explicitly state that CLI is recommended for Linux/macOS users.
  • Add a note about PowerShell Core support on non-Windows platforms if PowerShell is required.
  • Where possible, provide Bash shell scripting examples for automation tasks.
