Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by providing only PowerShell examples for listing available VM sizes, omitting equivalent Linux/CLI/bash commands. The 'Next steps' section also lists PowerShell and Visual Studio (Windows-centric tools) before mentioning templates, and does not reference Azure CLI or Linux-native workflows. No Linux or cross-platform examples are provided for key tasks.
Recommendations:
- Add equivalent Azure CLI (az) or Bash examples alongside PowerShell scripts for listing available VM sizes.
- In the 'Next steps' section, include Azure CLI and/or Bash deployment guides and place them on equal footing with PowerShell and Visual Studio.
- Explicitly mention that tasks can be performed from Linux/macOS as well as Windows, and link to cross-platform tooling documentation.
- Where possible, use neutral language and tool ordering (e.g., 'Azure portal, Azure CLI, PowerShell, Template, Visual Studio') to avoid implying Windows is the default or preferred environment.
