Summary
The documentation page, while focused on Azure Disk Encryption for Linux VMs, provides almost all automation and Azure interaction examples using PowerShell cmdlets and scripts. Key tasks such as listing encrypted VMs, uploading VHDs, managing Key Vault secrets, and attaching disks are shown exclusively with PowerShell, a Windows-centric tool. There are no az CLI, Bash, or Linux-native command examples for these Azure operations, and PowerShell is presented as the default/only method for interacting with Azure resources, which may create friction for Linux/macOS users who prefer or require non-Windows tooling.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent az CLI and Bash script examples for all Azure resource management tasks (listing encrypted VMs, uploading VHDs, managing Key Vault secrets, attaching disks).
- Clearly indicate when PowerShell is required and offer guidance for installing and using PowerShell Core on Linux/macOS, or alternatives using native Linux tools.
- Where possible, link to or embed Linux-native workflows for Azure Disk Encryption tasks, ensuring parity in automation and scripting.
- Reorder examples so that Linux-native tools (az CLI, Bash) are presented before or alongside PowerShell, especially in documentation targeted at Linux users.
