Summary
The documentation demonstrates a notable Windows bias: all deployment and management commands use PowerShell, even for Linux VMs; Windows examples and instructions are presented first and in greater detail; Windows-specific paths and tools are referenced; Linux-specific CLI or shell commands are missing, and Linux users are expected to use PowerShell on Windows to manage their VMs.
Recommendations
  • Provide Azure CLI and Bash examples for Linux VM deployment and extension management, including commands that can be run natively on Linux/macOS.
  • Present Linux and Windows instructions in parallel, or alternate which is shown first.
  • Include Linux-specific file paths and verification steps (e.g., use 'ls' and 'cat' in Bash, not PowerShell).
  • Clarify which commands can be run from Linux/macOS and which require Windows/PowerShell.
  • Reference cross-platform tools (Azure CLI, REST API) before or alongside Windows-only tools.
