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 fields (e.g., 'windowsConfiguration', 'certificateStoreName on Windows', 'additionalUnattendContent', 'winRM') are described first and in more detail than their Linux equivalents. Linux configuration is present but less detailed and always appears after Windows. There are no PowerShell-only examples or Windows-exclusive tools, but the documentation does not provide parity in example depth for Linux.
Recommendations
- Provide equally detailed examples and explanations for Linux VM configuration fields, such as common SSH settings, cloud-init usage, and Linux-specific restore scenarios.
- Alternate the order of Windows and Linux configuration blocks, or present them side-by-side for parity.
- Add notes or examples for Linux-specific restore point considerations (e.g., file system consistency, SELinux contexts, etc.) where relevant.
- Ensure that any references to certificate stores or VM agent provisioning are matched with Linux equivalents (e.g., trusted CA bundles, waagent settings).
