Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for creating and updating scale sets with Availability Zones, but PowerShell (Windows-centric) examples are given equal prominence and detail as CLI. The ARM template section references both Linux and Windows, but the main walkthroughs and update instructions do not show explicit Linux shell commands or workflows. The order of presentation often puts PowerShell before REST API or ARM templates, and there are no bash-specific or Linux-native instructions for updating scale sets. This creates mild friction for Linux/macOS users, who may prefer bash or native shell commands over PowerShell.
Recommendations
- Add explicit bash/Linux shell examples for all CLI commands, including update operations.
- Clarify that Azure CLI is fully cross-platform and highlight its use for Linux/macOS users.
- Consider presenting CLI (bash) examples before PowerShell in each section to signal parity.
- Include troubleshooting or environment setup notes for Linux/macOS users where relevant.
- Where PowerShell is used, note that it is available cross-platform, but provide bash alternatives.
