Summary
Although the documentation is focused on Linux VM extensions, it consistently presents both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples side-by-side, with PowerShell examples given equal prominence. PowerShell is a Windows-centric tool, and its inclusion throughout may create friction for Linux/macOS users. Additionally, references to ARM templates link to Windows documentation first, and some terminology (such as 'publisher', 'extension type') is not clarified for Linux users. However, Linux-specific details (such as waagent, log locations, and Bash scripts) are present and correct.
Recommendations
- Prioritize Azure CLI examples over PowerShell, as CLI is cross-platform and native to Linux/macOS.
- Clearly indicate that PowerShell is optional and primarily for Windows users; consider moving PowerShell examples to a secondary section or appendix.
- Ensure ARM template links point to Linux-specific documentation when possible.
- Add explicit notes about tool availability and platform compatibility for each example.
- Review terminology to ensure it is clear for Linux users and not Windows-centric.
