Summary
The documentation page is heavily focused on Azure PowerShell, with all CLI examples provided in PowerShell syntax. There are no equivalent examples using Azure CLI (az), Bash, or Linux-native tools, despite the page stating applicability to Linux VMs. Windows-centric tools and patterns (e.g., PowerShell cmdlets, Windows networking conventions) are used exclusively and referenced first. The linked resources also point to Windows/PowerShell documentation. This creates friction for Linux/macOS users who may not have or use PowerShell.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent Azure CLI (az) and Bash examples for all major steps, including retrieving VM plan info, creating image definitions, and deploying VMs.
  • Explicitly mention cross-platform alternatives and clarify which steps can be performed on Linux/macOS.
  • Update references and links to include both Windows/PowerShell and Linux/CLI documentation.
  • Consider reordering examples so that cross-platform (CLI/Bash) instructions appear before or alongside PowerShell examples.
