Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing Windows PowerShell commands (e.g., Get-AzRole) as the only CLI example for checking instance status, listing PowerShell and Visual Studio as deployment options without mentioning cross-platform or Linux-native tools, and omitting any Bash, Azure CLI, or Linux-specific instructions. The ordering of deployment options also places Windows-centric tools before cross-platform alternatives.
Recommendations:
- Provide Azure CLI (az) command examples alongside or instead of PowerShell, especially for tasks like checking instance status (e.g., az vm list or az cloud-service role-instance list).
- Explicitly mention that ARM templates and REST API methods are cross-platform and can be used from any OS.
- Include Bash or shell script examples where relevant, particularly for Linux users.
- In the 'Next steps' section, list cross-platform tools (Azure CLI, ARM template) before Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, Visual Studio), or group them by platform.
- Where PowerShell is mentioned, add a note or link to equivalent Azure CLI documentation for Linux/macOS users.
