Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and PowerShell examples for configuring VM vCore customization, but the PowerShell example is detailed and uses Windows-specific SDK objects, while the CLI example is brief and lacks Linux/macOS-specific context. The PowerShell section is given equal prominence to CLI, and there is no explicit mention of Linux/macOS shell usage or examples beyond the CLI. The documentation refers to PowerShell without clarifying cross-platform support, and does not provide bash or shell script equivalents for Linux users. The ordering of examples (CLI, then PowerShell) is reasonable, but the PowerShell example is more verbose and detailed, potentially favoring Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit bash or shell script examples for Linux/macOS users, especially for ARM template deployment and Azure CLI usage.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI commands work on Linux/macOS and provide sample commands for those environments (e.g., with SSH key handling, environment variables).
  • Note that PowerShell Core is cross-platform, but provide guidance or examples for Linux/macOS users who may not use PowerShell.
  • Ensure parity in example detail: expand CLI examples to match the depth of the PowerShell section, including object manipulation if relevant.
  • Consider adding a table or section comparing the steps for Windows, Linux, and macOS environments.
