Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and PowerShell examples for creating VMs from specialized images, but the PowerShell examples are extensive and detailed, while the CLI examples are more concise. The PowerShell examples use Windows-centric tools and patterns (e.g., New-AzNetworkSecurityRuleConfig for RDP port 3389, Windows-style variable naming, and PowerShell-specific networking setup). There are no Linux shell (bash) or macOS-specific examples for tasks like networking setup, nor are there explicit Linux-focused CLI walkthroughs. PowerShell examples are given equal or greater prominence than CLI, which may create friction for Linux/macOS users who do not use PowerShell.
Recommendations
  • Add detailed bash shell examples for networking and VM creation, matching the depth of the PowerShell walkthroughs.
  • Ensure CLI examples cover all steps shown in PowerShell (e.g., network interface, NSG creation), not just the VM creation command.
  • Clarify that PowerShell examples are primarily for Windows users, and provide parity for Linux/macOS users with bash/CLI scripts.
  • Where possible, use cross-platform terminology and avoid Windows-centric patterns (e.g., RDP port blocking) unless relevant to both OS types.
