Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Azure PowerShell, with all command-line examples using PowerShell cmdlets and no equivalent Azure CLI or Bash examples provided. The referenced links and examples (such as network security rules for RDP port 3389) are Windows-centric, and Linux-specific scenarios are not demonstrated, despite the documentation claiming applicability to Linux VMs. There is no mention of Linux tools, shell commands, or patterns, and the ARM template example uses a Windows VM name and RDP port, further reinforcing a Windows-first bias.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent Azure CLI and Bash examples for all PowerShell commands, especially for Linux users.
  • Include Linux-specific scenarios, such as SSH port configuration and Linux VM naming conventions, in both code and ARM template examples.
  • Reference documentation and examples that are platform-neutral or provide both Windows and Linux paths (e.g., links to Linux-focused image finding guides).
  • Explicitly show how to retrieve and use purchase plan information for Linux VMs, including relevant differences.
  • Avoid using Windows-specific ports (like 3389 for RDP) in generic examples; use SSH (port 22) for Linux or provide both.
