Summary
The documentation page is generally focused on connecting to Linux VMs via Azure Bastion through the Azure portal, which is a cross-platform web interface. However, there is a recurring bias in the guidance for storing SSH keys in Azure Key Vault: the instructions and links reference PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) first and do not provide explicit Linux/Unix shell (Bash) or cross-platform CLI examples. The linked quick-create guide for Key Vault uses PowerShell, and the recommendation to use 'PowerShell or Azure CLI' always lists PowerShell first, with no Bash-specific or Linux-native instructions. There are no explicit Linux command-line examples for common tasks, and the documentation does not mention or show parity for Linux users in these steps.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit Azure CLI (Bash) examples for creating and managing Azure Key Vault resources and secrets, and ensure these are presented alongside or before PowerShell examples.
  • Update links such as 'Create a key vault' to point to both PowerShell and Azure CLI quickstart guides, or to a landing page that lets users choose their preferred platform.
  • When referencing command-line tools, use 'Azure CLI' as the default or present it before PowerShell, as Azure CLI is cross-platform and more familiar to Linux users.
  • Add notes or sections clarifying that all steps can be performed from Linux/macOS terminals using Azure CLI, and provide sample commands.
  • Review all instructions to ensure that Linux users are not implicitly directed to use Windows-centric tools or workflows.
