Summary
The documentation provides explicit PowerShell examples and references to the Azure PowerShell module (New-AzCloudService), which is primarily a Windows-centric tool. There are no CLI (az cli), Bash, or Linux-native examples. The SDK example is in C#, a language most commonly associated with Windows development. No Linux-first or cross-platform command-line examples are provided.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent Azure CLI (az cli) examples for setting allowModelOverride, as Azure CLI is cross-platform and widely used on Linux.
  • Include Bash or shell script examples where appropriate, especially for automation scenarios.
  • Mention cross-platform tools and approaches before or alongside PowerShell, rather than only providing PowerShell and C# examples.
  • Clarify in the documentation that the PowerShell example is also available on Linux (if true), or provide guidance for Linux users.
  • Consider adding SDK examples in languages popular on Linux, such as Python or Java, to improve parity.
