Summary
The documentation provides parity for both Linux and Windows users, with Azure CLI and PowerShell examples for all major operations. However, PowerShell examples are always present and CLI examples sometimes reference Windows-specific instructions (e.g., removing --generate-ssh-keys for Windows VMs). Portal instructions use generic steps, but the ordering of examples consistently places PowerShell after CLI, and CLI after Portal, which may subtly prioritize Windows users. There are no missing Linux examples, and Azure CLI is cross-platform, but PowerShell is Windows-centric (though now available on Linux/macOS).
Recommendations
- Explicitly state that Azure CLI is cross-platform and suitable for Linux/macOS users.
- Where CLI examples reference Windows-specific steps (such as password prompts), clarify Linux/macOS differences.
- Consider alternating the order of CLI and PowerShell examples, or grouping them as 'Command-line' to avoid implicit prioritization.
- Add a brief note that PowerShell is available on Linux/macOS, but Azure CLI is generally preferred for Linux users.
- Ensure that all CLI examples are tested and work on Linux/macOS shells (bash/zsh), and clarify any OS-specific nuances.
