Summary
The documentation is focused on running scripts in Linux VMs using Azure managed Run Commands. While the primary examples are for Linux (shell scripts), there is notable bias in the tooling and example ordering: PowerShell cmdlets (Set-AzVMRunCommand, Get-AzVMRunCommand, etc.) are heavily featured, and Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, New-AzStorageBlobSASToken) are referenced throughout. In several sections, PowerShell examples are given equal or greater prominence than Azure CLI, despite CLI being more native to Linux. REST API and ARM template examples sometimes use Windows-style scripts (e.g., Write-Host, .ps1 files) or reference Windows-specific command IDs (ipconfig), and Windows-specific notes are interspersed in Linux-focused sections. The documentation assumes familiarity with PowerShell tooling for tasks like generating SAS tokens, which may create friction for Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Provide Azure CLI examples for all tasks where PowerShell examples are given, especially for SAS token generation and blob operations.
  • Ensure that shell script examples (.sh) are used in REST API and ARM template sections, not PowerShell (.ps1), unless explicitly discussing Windows.
  • Clarify when a command or tool is Windows-only, and provide Linux alternatives or note Linux limitations.
  • Reorder examples so that Azure CLI (or Bash) is presented before PowerShell in Linux-focused documentation.
  • Add guidance for Linux-native tools (e.g., azcopy, Azure CLI) for blob SAS token generation and management.
