Summary
The documentation page describes the Azure VM restore process in a mostly OS-neutral way, but the 'Restore an encrypted VM' scenario exclusively references Windows VM encryption and PowerShell-based restoration, with no mention of Linux VM disk encryption or Linux restoration workflows. Additionally, the encrypted VM restore scenario links only to Windows-specific documentation, and PowerShell is presented as the sole automation tool for restoring encrypted VMs, with no Bash, CLI, or Linux-native alternatives. This creates friction for Linux VM users seeking parity in encrypted VM restore guidance.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent guidance for restoring encrypted Linux VMs, including links to Linux disk encryption documentation and restore workflows.
- Provide examples using Azure CLI or Bash scripts for restoring encrypted VMs, not just PowerShell.
- Clarify in the encrypted VM restore scenario whether Linux VMs are supported, and if not, explicitly state the limitation.
- Ensure restore scenarios and linked documentation cover both Windows and Linux VM types where applicable.
