Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and PowerShell examples for associating VMs to capacity reservation groups, but there is a notable Windows bias in several areas. PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) is given equal prominence to the cross-platform Azure CLI, and in some cases, the ARM template and parameter defaults focus exclusively on Windows images. The ARM template example only covers Windows Server SKUs, and there are no explicit Linux ARM template examples. Additionally, some sections (like the ARM template) do not mention how to use a Linux image, and PowerShell is always presented as the only scripting alternative to CLI, with no mention of Bash or other Linux-native scripting approaches.
Recommendations
  • Add ARM template examples for Linux VMs, or at least document how to modify the template to deploy a Linux image (e.g., Ubuntu).
  • When showing parameter lists (such as OSVersion), include popular Linux distributions as allowed values, or provide a parallel Linux example.
  • Consider presenting Azure CLI examples before PowerShell, as CLI is cross-platform and more accessible to Linux/macOS users.
  • Where PowerShell is shown, mention that it is available cross-platform, but also suggest Bash or other Linux-native scripting approaches if relevant.
  • Review the documentation for any assumptions that the user is on Windows (e.g., references to password complexity for Windows, or RDP ports), and clarify when steps are OS-agnostic or OS-specific.
