Summary

The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by providing PowerShell-based examples for disk migration and referencing Windows-specific tools and patterns (e.g., PowerShell, Windows VM with RDP) before Linux equivalents. The only command-line example for moving disks uses PowerShell, and while there is a brief mention of Linux VMs (with SSH port 22), there are no Linux shell (bash/CLI) examples for key steps such as using AzCopy or managing disks. The guidance for swapping OS disks links to a Windows/PowerShell article, with no Linux/CLI equivalent. The overall workflow assumes familiarity with Windows tools and environments, with Linux parity lacking in practical, step-by-step guidance.

Recommendations

Provide equivalent Bash/Azure CLI examples for all PowerShell commands, especially for disk migration and AzCopy usage.
Include explicit Linux VM management steps and examples (e.g., swapping OS disks using Azure CLI or Bash).
When showing code snippets for VM network configuration, present Linux and Windows examples side by side, not with Windows first.
Reference both Windows and Linux documentation for advanced tasks (e.g., swapping OS disks) to ensure parity.
Review all instructions to ensure that Linux users are equally supported and not required to translate PowerShell or Windows-centric steps themselves.
