Summary
The documentation provides a detailed walkthrough for enabling replication of encrypted Azure VMs, but the only command-line example is a PowerShell script. There are no CLI, Bash, or Linux-oriented instructions or examples, which may disadvantage users working from Linux or cross-platform environments.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Azure CLI (az) command examples alongside PowerShell scripts, as Azure CLI is cross-platform and works natively on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
  • Explicitly mention that the procedure can be performed from any OS via the Azure Portal, and clarify any OS-specific requirements.
  • If certain features are only available via PowerShell, state this clearly and provide workarounds or alternatives for Linux users where possible.
  • Include Bash or shell script examples for common automation scenarios, or reference documentation for Linux users.
  • Review screenshots and UI instructions to ensure terminology is not Windows-centric (e.g., avoid references to 'blades' if not universally used).
