Summary
The documentation provides both Windows and Linux parity in CLI/API/Portal instructions, but there are notable signs of Windows bias. PowerShell examples (Windows-only) are given equal prominence as Azure CLI (cross-platform), and ARM template examples focus exclusively on Windows VM images and parameters. The ARM template omits any Linux image or configuration, and the password complexity guidance is tailored to Windows. In several places, Windows terminology and tools (PowerShell, Windows images) are mentioned before or instead of Linux equivalents.
Recommendations
  • Add ARM template examples for Linux VMs, including imageReference for popular Linux distributions (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS).
  • In ARM template parameters, include both Windows and Linux OS options, with clear documentation for each.
  • Where password complexity is discussed, clarify differences for Linux VMs (e.g., SSH keys vs. passwords).
  • Ensure examples and instructions alternate or balance Windows and Linux references, rather than defaulting to Windows first.
  • Consider adding Bash shell examples for common operations, especially for Linux users.
  • Review terminology and ensure it is inclusive of both Windows and Linux workflows.
