Summary
The documentation demonstrates mild Windows bias by listing Windows and PowerShell examples before Linux equivalents, referencing Windows-specific tools and patterns (e.g., PowerShell DSC), and linking to Windows VM configuration guides before Linux ones. Linux is supported, but Windows terminology and tooling are more prominent and often appear first.
Recommendations
- Ensure Linux examples and instructions are presented alongside or before Windows ones, especially in sections like managed identity configuration.
- Provide explicit links and guidance for configuring managed identities and extensions on Linux VMs, not just Windows VMs.
- Clarify the use of validation tools for Linux, including PowerShell DSC v3 and Chef InSpec, and offer more detail on their installation and usage.
- Balance references to Azure PowerShell with Azure CLI, which is more cross-platform.
- Include screenshots or walkthroughs for Linux VM configuration in the Azure portal.
