Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively providing PowerShell commands (a Windows-centric tool) for listing Azure Government VM extensions, without offering equivalent examples for Linux users (e.g., using Azure CLI or Bash). The instructions reference connecting via PowerShell and do not mention or prioritize Linux-compatible tools or workflows. Additionally, the 'Next steps' section lists Windows before Linux.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent Azure CLI (az) command examples for Linux/macOS users to obtain the list of VM extensions.
  • Explicitly mention that PowerShell is not required and that users can use Azure CLI or Cloud Shell from any platform.
  • Reorder or parallelize 'Next steps' to avoid always listing Windows before Linux, or group them together as equal options.
  • Provide links to both Windows and Linux extension documentation in the main body, not just in 'Next steps'.
