Summary
The documentation provides both Windows and Linux information, but there are several signs of Windows bias. Windows-specific configuration properties (e.g., enableAutomaticUpdates) are discussed in detail, and Windows Server SKUs are listed extensively. PowerShell examples are given before Azure CLI examples, and ARM/Bicep template snippets default to Windows images. Windows terminology and tools (e.g., drive letters, Windows Update) are mentioned more frequently and in more detail than Linux equivalents. However, Linux support is clearly stated and Azure CLI examples are present, so Linux users can complete the tasks with some friction.
Recommendations
- Alternate the order of PowerShell and Azure CLI examples so Linux users see CLI first in some sections.
- Add explicit Linux-focused configuration examples, especially for ARM/Bicep templates (e.g., show Canonical/Ubuntu image defaults).
- Provide notes or examples for Linux-specific behaviors (e.g., disk mounting, extension scripts) where Windows drive letters or Windows Update are discussed.
- Balance the discussion of OS-specific properties (e.g., mention Linux patching modes or update mechanisms where Windows Update is referenced).
- Ensure that all examples (ARM, Bicep, CLI, PowerShell) show both Windows and Linux image configurations.
