Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on deploying VM extensions to Windows VMs using PowerShell scripts and Windows-specific tooling (e.g., Install-WindowsFeature, powershell.exe). All examples, templates, and walkthroughs are for Windows VMs, with no mention of Linux VMs, Bash scripts, or Linux equivalents of the demonstrated tasks. This creates friction for Linux users and does not provide guidance for deploying extensions to Linux VMs.
Recommendations
- Add parallel examples and walkthroughs for deploying extensions to Linux VMs, including Bash script usage.
- Include ARM template snippets for Linux VM extensions (e.g., using CustomScriptExtension with Bash).
- Show how to install a web server (e.g., Apache or Nginx) on a Linux VM via extension.
- Provide deployment and verification steps for Linux VMs (e.g., retrieving public IP, checking Apache/Nginx welcome page).
- Ensure that both Windows and Linux scenarios are covered equally, or clarify the scope if the tutorial is intentionally Windows-only.
