Summary

The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by presenting .NET (C#) and Windows-specific examples and references before Linux or cross-platform alternatives. The .NET example uses a Windows Server image, and PowerShell cmdlets are mentioned as a primary tool. While a Python example with Ubuntu is included, it appears after the Windows/.NET example. There are no explicit Linux shell or CLI examples, and the documentation does not provide parity in tool coverage or ordering.

Recommendations

Provide Linux/Bash CLI examples alongside or before Windows/PowerShell/.NET examples.
Include explicit instructions and code samples for creating and managing autoscale pools using Azure CLI and Bash scripts, not just PowerShell or .NET.
When referencing VM images, alternate or equally present Ubuntu/Linux and Windows images in code samples.
Mention cross-platform tools (e.g., Azure CLI) before or alongside platform-specific tools (e.g., PowerShell).
Ensure that all SDK and API references (Python, Java, CLI) are given equal prominence and ordering as .NET/Windows.
Add a section or callout for Linux users, highlighting any differences or considerations.
