Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. In most sections, examples are provided for Azure CLI, Azure PowerShell, and the Azure Portal, but there is a consistent presence of PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) as a primary example. In OS update queries, Windows and general OS queries are presented before Linux-specific queries, and the Linux example appears later in the document. There are no Linux-native command-line examples (e.g., Bash scripts or Linux-specific tooling) outside of the Azure CLI, and terminology and patterns (such as PowerShell) are more familiar to Windows users. The documentation does not provide parity in Linux-native usage or highlight Linux-specific considerations except in one dedicated Linux section.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-native command-line examples (e.g., Bash, shell scripts) alongside PowerShell, especially for scenarios where users may interact with Azure from Linux environments.
- Ensure that Linux-specific queries and examples are given equal prominence and are not grouped only at the end or in a separate section.
- Where PowerShell is used, clarify that it is cross-platform or provide explicit Linux installation/use instructions.
- Highlight any differences in resource properties or behaviors between Windows and Linux VMs in the documentation.
- Consider adding a table or section summarizing OS-specific queries for both Windows and Linux at the top of the page for quick reference.
