Summary
The documentation consistently links to Windows-specific pages and tabs for further information about IMDS, such as HTTP verbs and rate limiting. There are no references to Linux or cross-platform usage, nor are Linux/macOS equivalents or examples provided. This creates friction for non-Windows users seeking parity.
Recommendations
- Include links to Linux/macOS documentation or tabs where available, such as /azure/virtual-machines/linux/instance-metadata-service.
- Clarify that IMDS is accessible from any OS and provide sample requests using Linux tools (e.g., curl, wget) alongside any Windows/PowerShell examples.
- Ensure that mitigation steps and next steps reference both Windows and Linux documentation, or use cross-platform examples.
- Add a note or section explicitly addressing Linux/macOS usage and troubleshooting.
