Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: PowerShell examples are provided alongside Azure CLI throughout, but there are no explicit Linux shell (bash) or scripting examples. Migration between plans is only supported on Windows, with Linux migration explicitly unsupported. In several places, Windows is mentioned first (e.g., in region scale-out tables and migration), and Windows-specific tools (PowerShell) are given equal prominence to cross-platform tools (CLI), but Linux-native scripting or commands are not. There is also a lack of Linux-specific guidance or parity in some features.
Recommendations
  • Provide bash or Linux shell script equivalents for all Azure PowerShell examples, or clarify that Azure CLI commands are cross-platform and sufficient.
  • When listing operating systems (e.g., in region tables, migration sections), alternate the order or explicitly address both equally, rather than defaulting to Windows-first.
  • For migration, clarify the roadmap or alternatives for Linux users, or provide a workaround if possible.
  • Include Linux-specific considerations or troubleshooting tips where relevant, especially in sections where Windows-specific behaviors or limitations are discussed.
  • Review all examples and ensure that Linux users are not left without guidance or are not required to use Windows tools for management tasks.
