Summary:
The documentation provides detailed instructions and examples for managing soft delete of VM backups using the Azure portal and Azure PowerShell, but does not mention or provide examples for Linux CLI tools (such as Azure CLI), Bash scripting, or Linux-specific workflows. PowerShell is featured exclusively in the automation section, and there are no Linux command-line equivalents or parity in the examples.
Recommendations:
- Add equivalent Azure CLI (az) command examples for all PowerShell operations (delete, undelete, resume backup) to support Linux and cross-platform users.
- Explicitly mention that all operations can be performed from Linux/macOS using Azure CLI, and provide links or code snippets.
- Where automation is discussed, provide both PowerShell and Bash (with Azure CLI) script examples.
- Review screenshots and UI instructions to ensure they are not Windows-centric (e.g., avoid referencing right-click if not applicable cross-platform).
- Include a section or note on cross-platform compatibility and tool choice for users on non-Windows systems.
