Summary
The documentation provides parity between Azure Portal, CLI, PowerShell, and REST API for VM deletion options. However, there is a notable Windows bias: PowerShell examples are given equal prominence to CLI, and REST examples use Windows-centric values (e.g., Windows images, osType: Windows). There are no explicit Linux-specific examples (e.g., using a Linux image, osType: Linux, or Linux-specific adminUsername patterns). The FAQ and walkthroughs do not mention Linux-specific considerations, and PowerShell (a Windows-first tool) is featured as a primary automation method, which may not be available or preferred on Linux/macOS. The only Linux reference is in the 'Next steps' link, which is not integrated into the main content.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Linux examples in CLI and REST sections, such as using a Linux image (e.g., Ubuntu) and osType: Linux.
  • In REST examples, alternate between Windows and Linux VM configurations to show parity.
  • Clarify that PowerShell is cross-platform, but recommend CLI for Linux/macOS users and provide Bash shell examples where appropriate.
  • In the FAQ, add notes about Linux VM deletion behaviors, if any differences exist.
  • Ensure that Linux and Windows examples are presented with equal prominence, alternating or grouping by OS where possible.
