Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias. All code examples for artifact creation use PowerShell scripts and Windows-specific commands (e.g., powershell.exe, Chocolatey). There are no Linux shell script examples, nor is there guidance for creating Linux-compatible artifacts. The process for Linux artifact creation is only mentioned in passing (targetOsType: Linux), with no practical examples or instructions. Windows tools and patterns (PowerShell, Chocolatey) are referenced exclusively and appear before any mention of Linux equivalents.
Recommendations
- Add parallel examples for Linux artifacts, including sample artifactfile.json and corresponding shell script (e.g., Bash) usage.
- Show how to use Linux package managers (e.g., apt, yum) in artifact scripts.
- Provide a Linux-focused runCommand example, such as executing a Bash script.
- Explicitly mention and demonstrate how to structure artifacts for Linux VMs, including handling secure strings and parameters.
- Ensure that Linux instructions and examples are presented alongside Windows examples, not only as an afterthought.
