Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias by exclusively providing PowerShell scripting instructions for importing VMs, with no mention of Linux/macOS shell equivalents (such as Bash or Azure CLI). The PowerShell method is presented first and in detail, while the REST API method is described generically without platform-specific guidance. No Linux or cross-platform scripting examples are provided.
Recommendations
- Add Azure CLI examples for importing VMs, which work on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
- Provide Bash shell script samples for Linux/macOS users.
- Clarify whether the PowerShell script can be run using PowerShell Core on Linux/macOS, and provide installation guidance if so.
- Present cross-platform methods (REST API, Azure CLI) before or alongside Windows-specific tools.
- Explicitly state platform compatibility for each method.
