Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and PowerShell examples for creating VMs from generalized images in a gallery. However, PowerShell examples are heavily focused on Windows-specific patterns (e.g., Set-AzVMOperatingSystem -Windows), and Windows VM creation is shown first or exclusively in several PowerShell sections. CLI examples generally default to Linux, but PowerShell sections do not offer Linux-specific instructions or parity. Additionally, PowerShell is a Windows-centric tool, and its usage is prominent throughout the page.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Linux VM creation examples in PowerShell sections, using Set-AzVMOperatingSystem -Linux.
  • Clarify in PowerShell sections how to create Linux VMs, including SSH key authentication and Linux-specific configuration.
  • Where possible, provide Bash or shell script equivalents for resource setup (network, NIC, etc.) for Linux users.
  • Ensure that both CLI and PowerShell sections consistently mention Linux and Windows options, rather than defaulting to Windows in PowerShell.
  • Consider adding a note that PowerShell is cross-platform, but highlight any Windows-specific limitations or patterns.
