Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias by consistently using Windows-centric examples in JSON templates (e.g., 'osType': 'Windows', 'windowsConfiguration', Windows-specific image references), mentioning Windows configuration options, and omitting explicit Linux-focused examples or templates. Linux users are referenced only indirectly, with no direct example of Linux VM creation or configuration. The only Linux-specific guidance is a link to another page for IMDS sample code, but the main documentation lacks parity in examples and patterns.
Recommendations
- Provide explicit Linux VM examples in all JSON templates (e.g., 'osType': 'Linux', Linux image references, and Linux-specific configuration options).
- Include Linux-specific sections or notes alongside Windows ones, such as 'linuxConfiguration' in the VMSS example.
- Ensure that Linux examples are shown with equal prominence and order as Windows examples.
- Add sample user data scripts relevant to Linux (e.g., bash scripts) in addition to or instead of generic base64 strings.
- Clarify any differences in user data handling between Windows and Linux VMs.
