Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and PowerShell examples for creating VMs from specialized images. However, the PowerShell examples are extensive, using Windows-centric cmdlets and patterns, while the CLI examples are much shorter and less detailed. The PowerShell sections include full networking setup and resource creation, whereas the CLI sections only show basic VM creation. The PowerShell examples use Windows-specific tools and terminology, and are presented alongside CLI, but with much more detail. There is a subtle Windows bias in the depth and completeness of examples, and in the use of PowerShell as the primary scripting language for advanced scenarios.
Recommendations
  • Expand Azure CLI examples to include full networking setup and resource creation, matching the detail of PowerShell examples.
  • Add Bash shell scripting examples for Linux users, especially for multi-step workflows.
  • Clarify that PowerShell examples are cross-platform (if true), or provide equivalent Bash/Cloud Shell scripts.
  • Avoid using Windows-specific terminology (e.g., RDP rules) without also mentioning Linux equivalents (e.g., SSH).
  • Ensure that advanced scenarios (e.g., RBAC, cross-tenant, networking) have parity between CLI and PowerShell, and are not PowerShell-only.
