Summary
The documentation generally maintains cross-platform language, but there is evidence of Windows bias. PowerShell is mentioned explicitly in the 'Next steps' section, with a direct link to Windows/PowerShell instructions, while Linux CLI and ARM template links are grouped separately. The order of presentation in 'Next steps' places CLI (Linux), portal, ARM template (Linux), and then PowerShell (Windows), which is more balanced, but the explicit mention of PowerShell and the existence of a dedicated Windows/PowerShell page, without a similar dedicated Bash or Linux shell page, suggests a slight bias. There are no explicit Linux shell command examples or screenshots, and some references (such as scheduled events) link to Linux documentation but do not provide in-page Linux-specific examples. No Windows-only tools are promoted, but Linux parity in examples and tooling is not fully achieved.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Linux shell (Bash) command examples for common Spot VM operations, similar to the PowerShell examples.
  • Provide dedicated Linux/Bash documentation pages, analogous to the Windows/PowerShell page.
  • Include screenshots or walkthroughs for Linux users in the portal and CLI sections.
  • Ensure that all references to tooling (CLI, ARM, PowerShell) are presented with equal prominence and detail.
  • Where possible, provide side-by-side examples for both Windows (PowerShell) and Linux (Bash/CLI) in relevant sections.
