Summary
The documentation provides configuration examples only for the Azure Portal, Azure CLI, and Azure PowerShell. While Azure CLI is cross-platform, the PowerShell examples are Windows-centric, and there are no explicit Linux shell (bash) or automation examples. The PowerShell tab is always present, and the documentation metadata includes 'devx-track-azurepowershell', suggesting a Windows/PowerShell bias. There are no Linux-specific instructions or references to Linux-native tools or scripting, and no mention of Linux-specific considerations for DNS or network configuration.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit bash/shell script examples for Linux users alongside PowerShell, especially for scripting and automation tasks.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI commands are cross-platform and provide any Linux-specific notes if needed (e.g., differences in environment variables, quoting, or file paths).
  • Include troubleshooting or configuration notes relevant to Linux VMs (e.g., how to update /etc/resolv.conf or use cloud-init for DNS settings).
  • Balance the prominence of PowerShell and CLI examples, and consider renaming tabs to 'Shell (Linux/macOS)' and 'PowerShell (Windows)' for clarity.
  • Review metadata and custom tags to ensure they do not signal a Windows/PowerShell preference unless justified.
