Summary
The documentation provides parity between Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for all major operations (attach, detach, update), and both are cross-platform tools. However, PowerShell (traditionally Windows-centric) is always presented as a primary scripting alternative, and some troubleshooting links and migration steps reference Windows-specific documentation (e.g., converting unmanaged disks, proximity placement groups) that point to Windows VM docs. Azure CLI is shown before PowerShell, which is positive, but the persistent inclusion of PowerShell and Windows documentation links introduces a mild Windows bias.
Recommendations
  • Ensure all troubleshooting and migration links have Linux equivalents or point to OS-agnostic documentation (e.g., proximity placement group removal, disk conversion).
  • Where possible, clarify that Azure CLI and PowerShell are both cross-platform, and consider adding Bash or shell script examples for common tasks to reinforce Linux parity.
  • Audit linked documentation to ensure Linux users are not redirected to Windows-only guides.
  • Explicitly state that Azure CLI and PowerShell are available on Linux/macOS, and provide installation links for these platforms.
  • If referencing PowerShell, consider also referencing Bash or other Linux-native scripting where appropriate.
