Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and PowerShell examples for creating VMs from gallery images, but PowerShell examples are significantly more detailed and tailored to Windows workflows. Windows-specific parameters and patterns (e.g., Set-AzVMOperatingSystem -Windows, RDP security rules, password creation dialogs) are prominent in PowerShell sections, and Windows VM creation is shown before Linux in several places. Linux examples are present, especially in CLI and REST, but PowerShell guidance is almost exclusively Windows-oriented, with little mention of Linux-specific PowerShell usage.
Recommendations
  • Add PowerShell examples for creating Linux VMs, including use of Set-AzVMOperatingSystem -Linux and SSH key authentication.
  • Ensure parity in parameter explanations for both Windows and Linux in PowerShell sections.
  • When showing VM creation steps, alternate or parallelize Windows and Linux examples, rather than presenting Windows first.
  • Clarify in PowerShell sections how to adapt commands for Linux VMs, not just Windows.
  • Review security group rules to include SSH (port 22) alongside RDP (port 3389) in PowerShell networking examples.
