Summary
The documentation is largely platform-neutral in its API focus, but there is a subtle Windows bias in the ordering and detail of OS-specific configuration examples. Windows configuration details (e.g., unattend XML, WinRM, certificateStore) are described first and in greater depth than Linux equivalents. The only certificate store example is for Windows, and the 'windowsConfiguration' section is more elaborate than 'linuxConfiguration'.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux configuration examples with equal detail, such as sample SSH configuration, cloud-init customData, and Linux-specific disk or boot diagnostics options.
- Include certificate store examples for Linux (e.g., location of PEM files, integration with Linux keyrings).
- Alternate the order of OS-specific configuration sections, or present them side-by-side for parity.
- Clarify any platform-specific limitations or behaviors for both Windows and Linux VMs.
