Summary
The documentation exhibits a moderate Windows bias. While it claims to apply to both Windows and Linux VMs, several examples and templates (especially the ARM template) are Windows-centric, with Windows images and parameters shown by default. PowerShell is given equal prominence to Azure CLI, but PowerShell is a Windows-first tool. The ARM template only demonstrates Windows VM creation, with no Linux image or configuration example. Password complexity requirements are described in Windows terms. In most sections, Windows tools and patterns (PowerShell, Windows images) are shown before or instead of Linux equivalents.
Recommendations
- Add explicit Linux VM ARM template examples, including imageReference for popular Linux distributions (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS).
- In ARM template parameters, include both Windows and Linux OS options, with clear instructions for each.
- Clarify password requirements for Linux VMs (e.g., SSH keys) and provide guidance for Linux administrator account setup.
- In PowerShell sections, note that PowerShell is cross-platform but most users on Linux/macOS will prefer Azure CLI or REST API.
- Where examples use Windows-centric terminology (e.g., RDP port 3389), add Linux-relevant alternatives (e.g., SSH port 22).
- Ensure that Linux is represented equally in example code, screenshots, and step-by-step instructions.
