Summary
The documentation provides explicit instructions and code samples for deploying the ARM template using PowerShell cmdlets, which are primarily Windows-centric. There are no examples or guidance for deploying via Azure CLI, Bash, or other Linux/macOS-friendly tools. The admin credentials are described in terms of RDP (a Windows protocol), and the PowerShell method is listed before any mention of cross-platform alternatives. No Linux/macOS-specific instructions or parity examples are provided.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent deployment instructions and code samples using Azure CLI (az deployment group create), which works on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
  • Include Bash script examples for template deployment.
  • Mention SSH as an alternative to RDP for admin access, and clarify how Linux/macOS users can connect to VMs.
  • Explicitly state that the ARM portal and Azure CLI methods are cross-platform.
  • Reorder examples so that cross-platform methods (Azure CLI, portal) are listed before Windows/PowerShell-specific instructions.
