Summary
The documentation page is focused on creating and uploading an Ubuntu Linux VHD for Azure, but it repeatedly references Windows-specific tools (notably Hyper-V and PowerShell's Convert-VHD) for VHD creation and conversion. Instructions for using Hyper-V Manager and Convert-VHD are provided, but there are no equivalent examples or guidance for Linux-native virtualization and disk conversion tools (e.g., qemu-img, VirtualBox, KVM). Windows tools are mentioned first and exclusively in critical steps, creating friction for Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations
- Add instructions and examples for creating and converting VHDs using Linux-native tools such as qemu-img, VirtualBox, or KVM.
- Provide parity for disk conversion steps, e.g., show how to convert raw disks to fixed-size VHD using qemu-img.
- Include links to Linux/macOS virtualization guides alongside the Hyper-V references.
- Clarify which steps are platform-agnostic and which require platform-specific tooling, offering alternatives where needed.
