Summary
The documentation page presents the Azure portal workflow for autoscaling VM Scale Sets in a platform-neutral way, but consistently references Azure PowerShell before Azure CLI when mentioning alternative methods. The 'Next steps' section links only to PowerShell-based management documentation, omitting CLI or Linux-native alternatives. This ordering and emphasis subtly prioritize Windows tools and workflows, potentially creating friction for Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations
  • When listing alternative methods, mention Azure CLI first or equally alongside PowerShell, as CLI is cross-platform and preferred by many Linux/macOS users.
  • In the 'Next steps' section, add links to equivalent Azure CLI documentation for managing VM Scale Sets.
  • Explicitly state that both PowerShell and CLI are supported on all platforms, and provide guidance for Linux/macOS users where relevant.
  • Consider including a brief comparison table or note highlighting platform compatibility for each tool.
