Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. PowerShell examples are provided for all advanced scenarios, with Windows-centric tools and patterns (e.g., ConvertTo-SecureString, PSCredential, Windows images) used throughout. Resource Manager Template instructions and examples are exclusively shown using PowerShell, with no Linux shell or cross-platform alternatives. In PowerShell sections, only Windows VM images are used, while Azure CLI examples use Ubuntu images. The feature registration step for ARM templates is only shown in PowerShell, with no az CLI equivalent. The 'Next steps' section links only to PowerShell-based samples.
Recommendations
  • Add bash/az CLI equivalents for all PowerShell-only steps, especially for ARM template feature registration and deployments.
  • Show Linux VM image examples in PowerShell sections, or clarify how to deploy Linux VMs with ZRS disks using PowerShell.
  • Include links to cross-platform or bash-based ARM template samples in the 'Next steps' section.
  • Where possible, use generic terminology and avoid Windows-specific constructs (e.g., ConvertTo-SecureString) in examples, or provide Linux/macOS alternatives.
  • Ensure that both Windows and Linux workflows are covered equally in all tabs and examples.
