Summary
The documentation page presents instructions for preparing a Red Hat Enterprise Linux VHD for Azure, covering multiple hypervisors (Hyper-V, KVM, VMware, Kickstart). However, there is a notable Windows bias: Hyper-V (a Windows-only hypervisor) is consistently presented first in all tabbed sections and referenced in the prerequisites and workflow steps. Windows-centric tools and links (such as Hyper-V Manager and PowerShell cmdlets like convert-vhd) are mentioned before Linux alternatives (like qemu-img). The prerequisites and initial guidance direct users to Windows documentation and tools, even though Linux-native workflows are fully supported and described later in the page.
Recommendations
- Reorder tabbed sections so that Linux-native hypervisors (KVM, VMware, Kickstart) are presented before or alongside Hyper-V, especially since the target audience is preparing Linux VMs.
- In the prerequisites, mention both Windows (Hyper-V) and Linux (KVM, qemu-img) tools and workflows equally, with direct links to Linux documentation and resources.
- Where disk conversion is discussed, present qemu-img (Linux) and convert-vhd (Windows/PowerShell) side by side, rather than prioritizing Windows tools.
- Clarify that all steps can be performed on Linux hosts, and provide explicit guidance for Linux-only environments.
- Avoid language that assumes Windows as the default platform for virtualization or image preparation.
