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.
