Summary
The documentation provides both platform-neutral (ARM template, REST, Azure CLI) and Windows-specific (PowerShell) instructions, but there is a noticeable Windows bias. PowerShell examples are given their own section, with no equivalent for Linux shell scripting. VM template examples use Windows images and passwords, and admin credentials are Windows-style. Windows tools and patterns (PowerShell, Windows image references) are mentioned exclusively or before Linux equivalents, and Linux-specific examples (e.g., Bash scripting, Linux image references) are missing.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Linux shell (Bash) scripting examples for deploying ephemeral OS disks, especially for tasks currently only shown in PowerShell.
  • In ARM template examples, provide both Windows and Linux image references, and use platform-neutral admin credential patterns (e.g., SSH keys for Linux).
  • In CLI examples, clarify Linux-specific options (e.g., --generate-ssh-keys) and show full Linux VM deployment flows.
  • Where PowerShell is mentioned, also mention Bash/Cloud Shell alternatives for Linux/macOS users.
  • Ensure screenshots and UI instructions are not Windows-centric.
