Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented around PowerShell and Windows tooling, even for Linux VM scenarios. All command-line examples (including those for Linux) use Azure PowerShell cmdlets and are shown in a Windows PowerShell prompt. There are no CLI/bash examples, and the instructions assume the use of a Windows client environment. The documentation also references Windows-specific file paths and screenshots, and Windows terminology is prevalent throughout.
Recommendations
  • Provide Azure CLI (az) examples alongside or instead of PowerShell for Linux VM scenarios, using bash syntax and Linux file paths.
  • Show sample commands and outputs from a Linux shell (e.g., bash prompt), not just Windows PowerShell.
  • Clarify that PowerShell Core can be used cross-platform, or explicitly support native Linux workflows.
  • Include screenshots and instructions relevant to Linux client environments where appropriate.
  • Avoid assuming the user is operating from a Windows machine; balance references to both Windows and Linux client environments.
