Summary
The documentation covers restoring both Windows and Linux encrypted Azure VMs, but there is a notable Windows bias. In the 'Recreate the virtual machine instance' section, only a PowerShell-based method is explicitly mentioned for creating a VM from restored disks, with no Linux/CLI/Bash equivalent. Additionally, the disk swap example links to a Windows-specific article. The Linux-specific restore steps are separated into a later section, and there is no example or command-line guidance for Linux users to automate VM recreation.
Recommendations
- Add Azure CLI and/or Bash examples for recreating a VM from restored disks, especially for Linux users.
- Provide parity in automation guidance for Linux, not just PowerShell.
- When referencing disk swap operations, include links or instructions for both Windows and Linux VMs.
- Reorganize sections so that Linux and Windows guidance is presented with equal prominence, or clarify when steps are OS-agnostic.
