Summary
The documentation provides a generally cross-platform overview of restoring Azure VMs using the portal, but there are several areas where Windows bias is evident. PowerShell is frequently referenced as the automation/CLI method, often without mentioning Azure CLI or Bash alternatives. Many links and examples for advanced scenarios (e.g., restoring with special network configurations, availability sets, or post-restore steps) point to Windows-specific guides or use PowerShell. Some sections (like resetting static IPs or restoring special VMs) reference Windows-centric tools or documentation first, and Linux-specific guidance is minimal or absent. There are also post-restore steps and troubleshooting commands that are Windows-specific, with no Linux equivalents provided.
Recommendations
- Where PowerShell is referenced as a method to create or restore VMs, add equivalent Azure CLI and/or Bash examples and links, especially for Linux users.
- When linking to guides for creating VMs from restored disks, include both Windows and Linux documentation (e.g., /azure/virtual-machines/linux/attach-managed-disk-portal alongside the Windows link).
- In post-restore steps, provide Linux-specific guidance for common tasks (e.g., resetting static IPs, rejoining domains, troubleshooting boot issues) and reference relevant Linux documentation.
- For sections on restoring special VMs (e.g., SQL VMs, domain controllers), clarify when steps are Windows-only and provide Linux alternatives or explicitly state if not applicable.
- Review all automation and scripting references to ensure both PowerShell and Azure CLI are covered, or clarify when only one is supported.
