Summary
The documentation exhibits a moderate Windows bias. Windows examples, especially PowerShell-based, are presented first and in greater detail. Many code samples, templates, and walkthroughs default to Windows VM creation and management, with Linux-specific instructions often relegated to secondary tabs or brief mentions. Critical sections such as Bicep and ARM templates focus exclusively on Windows VM deployment, with no Linux equivalents or parameterization. Folder permissions and troubleshooting are described in Windows terms, with Linux paths only briefly referenced. PowerShell is the primary automation tool throughout, with limited coverage of Linux-native alternatives.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-first or Linux-parallel examples in all code samples, especially for Bicep and ARM templates.
- Include Linux-specific folder permissions and troubleshooting steps with equal detail as Windows.
- Expand on Linux prerequisites and supported automation tools (e.g., Bash, Python) beyond PowerShell.
- Ensure all CLI and REST API examples demonstrate both Windows and Linux extension installation, with explicit parameterization.
- Add Linux VM creation and onboarding walkthroughs in Bicep/ARM templates.
- Reference Linux documentation links alongside Windows in 'Next steps' and throughout the page.
