Summary
The documentation page is focused on Linux VM extensions, but consistently presents both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for all operations. PowerShell examples are given equal prominence to CLI, despite PowerShell being a Windows-centric tool (even though it is available on Linux, CLI is more common for Linux users). References to ARM templates link to Windows documentation first, and some terminology (such as 'PowerShell') may be confusing for Linux users. However, all examples and screenshots are Linux-specific, and Linux tools (Azure CLI, waagent, Bash) are well represented.
Recommendations
  • Prioritize Azure CLI examples and place them before PowerShell examples, as CLI is more widely used on Linux.
  • Clarify that PowerShell is available on Linux, but Azure CLI is the recommended tool for Linux users.
  • Link to ARM template documentation that is Linux-specific, or provide parity in links for both Windows and Linux.
  • Where possible, use Bash and Linux-native commands in examples and troubleshooting sections.
  • Consider omitting PowerShell examples or moving them to a separate tab or appendix for Linux-focused documentation.
