Summary
The documentation references both Linux and Windows VMs, but Windows-related terms and examples appear more frequently and are often listed before Linux equivalents. For example, image types and usage examples mention Windows Server and SQL Server on Windows before Linux distributions. Tagging instructions link to both CLI and PowerShell, but the PowerShell link is labeled as 'tag-portal', which may suggest a Windows-centric approach. There are no explicit Linux-only examples, and Windows terminology (BYOL, Hybrid Benefit) is explained in detail, while Linux licensing or usage is not.
Recommendations
  • Ensure Linux distributions and usage scenarios are given equal prominence in examples and explanations.
  • Provide explicit Linux CLI examples and links alongside PowerShell instructions, not just as an afterthought.
  • Balance the order of Windows and Linux references in lists and tables (e.g., image types, usage scenarios).
  • Include details about Linux licensing, cost management, and marketplace images similar to the Windows explanations.
  • Clarify that tagging and other features work equally for Linux and Windows VMs, and provide parallel instructions.
