Summary
The documentation consistently uses Windows Server as the example operating system for the virtual machine, both in the Azure Portal and CLI/PowerShell instructions. There are no examples or instructions for creating or managing a Linux VM, nor any mention of Linux-specific considerations. All command-line examples use Azure CLI and PowerShell, which are cross-platform, but the VM image and admin account setup are Windows-only. This creates friction for Linux users who wish to follow the guide with a Linux VM.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel examples for creating a Linux VM (e.g., Ubuntu) in the Portal, PowerShell, and Azure CLI sections.
  • Mention that the steps are applicable to both Windows and Linux VMs, and clarify any differences in setup (e.g., SSH keys for Linux vs. passwords for Windows).
  • Include sample commands for Linux VM creation, such as using '--image UbuntuLTS' in Azure CLI and the equivalent in PowerShell.
  • Add notes or links to Linux VM documentation for users who prefer Linux.
  • Ensure screenshots and walkthroughs do not imply Windows is the only supported or recommended OS.
