Summary
The documentation page shows evidence of Windows bias. In the 'Common questions' section, only Windows PowerShell ('Get-AzRole') is mentioned for checking instance status, with no Linux/macOS CLI equivalent. In the 'Next steps' section, PowerShell and Visual Studio (Windows-centric tools) are listed before ARM template, and no Azure CLI or Bash examples are provided. There are no Linux/macOS-specific instructions or parity for command-line operations.
Recommendations
  • Add Azure CLI examples for checking instance status (e.g., 'az vm list' or relevant cloud service commands) alongside PowerShell.
  • Include Bash or shell script examples where appropriate.
  • Mention cross-platform tools (Azure CLI, VS Code) before or alongside Windows-only tools (PowerShell, Visual Studio).
  • Clarify that all operations can be performed from Linux/macOS environments using Azure CLI or REST API.
  • Ensure that portal instructions are explicitly marked as cross-platform.
