Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and PowerShell examples for all major workflows, but the PowerShell examples are extensive and use Windows-centric tools and patterns (e.g., New-AzNetworkSecurityRuleConfig for RDP, Windows-style variable naming, and PowerShell-specific networking setup). The PowerShell sections are much longer and more detailed than the CLI sections, which are more cross-platform. There is also a tendency to mention RDP and Windows networking rules before SSH or Linux equivalents. However, the CLI examples are sufficient for Linux/macOS users, and the portal instructions are platform-agnostic.
Recommendations
  • Add Bash or shell script examples for network setup and VM creation to match the detail of PowerShell examples.
  • Ensure networking examples mention SSH (port 22) before or alongside RDP (port 3389), especially in PowerShell sections.
  • Clarify that PowerShell examples are primarily for Windows users and recommend CLI for Linux/macOS users.
  • Balance the length and detail of CLI and PowerShell sections to avoid perceived preference.
  • Explicitly state cross-platform compatibility for CLI commands at the start of the article.
