Summary
The documentation demonstrates a notable Windows bias. All VM creation examples use Windows Server images only, both in Azure CLI and PowerShell. The PowerShell tab is presented first in the main deployment section, and all scripting examples use PowerShell, which is a Windows-centric tool. Remote access instructions focus exclusively on RDP (port 3389), which is specific to Windows, with no mention of SSH or Linux VM options. There are no examples for deploying Linux VMs, nor any Linux-specific remote access instructions. The ARM template section is neutral, but the procedural sections lack Linux parity.
Recommendations
  • Add examples for deploying Linux VMs (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS) alongside Windows Server in both Azure CLI and PowerShell sections.
  • Include SSH-based remote access instructions and network security group rules for port 22, in addition to RDP for Windows.
  • Present Azure CLI examples before or alongside PowerShell, as CLI is cross-platform.
  • Explicitly mention that both Windows and Linux VMs are supported, and provide sample commands for both.
  • Where PowerShell is used, clarify that Azure CLI is available and suitable for Linux/macOS users.
  • Add notes or links to Linux VM documentation for users who prefer non-Windows environments.
