Grant Fritchey notes that web searches won’t always take you to the latest version of documentation:
If you’re learning Azure and you research things using a search engine, then I strongly recommend you use the ability to limit your searches to the last year. Otherwise, you may be getting incomplete or incorrect data. At this precise moment, I’d say you need to limit your searches to Google (although I honestly hate recommending one of these tools over the other, let’s keep the competition fierce) because I was able to easily get the correct information within a couple of mouse clicks.
Grant’s post makes sense, and so does the search engine behavior: in Grant’s case, those older cmdlet documentation links have been around longer and older resources tend to have a larger number of relevant linkbacks and clicks. That’s also visible in SQL Server documentation, where sometimes you’ll land on the 2008R2 or 2012 version of documentation rather than 2016 or vNext.
Meanwhile, Victoria Holt has a bunch of resources for the Azure curious:
Here are a whole set of links to kick start your learning of Microsoft Azure services.
