Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias by exclusively using Azure PowerShell for all command-line examples and automation steps. There are no CLI (az), Bash, or Linux-native instructions or examples provided. References to documentation for creating disk encryption sets and double encryption also point to Windows/PowerShell-specific guides. The workflow assumes a Windows environment (e.g., file paths like C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads\template.json) and does not mention or illustrate how to perform these tasks from a Linux or cross-platform perspective.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent examples using the Azure CLI (az) in addition to PowerShell, especially for key steps like creating disk encryption sets, retrieving VM details, and deploying ARM templates.
- Include Bash shell command examples and Linux file path conventions where relevant (e.g., ~/Downloads/template.json).
- Link to both Windows/PowerShell and Linux/Azure CLI documentation for referenced tasks (such as disk encryption set creation).
- Explicitly state that the process can be performed from Linux/macOS environments and highlight any differences or prerequisites.
- Consider adding a section or callout for cross-platform users, summarizing which tools and commands are supported on which OS.
