Summary

The documentation exclusively demonstrates backing up a Windows virtual machine in Azure using Terraform, with no mention or example of Linux VM equivalents. The description, checklist, and verification steps all focus on Windows VMs, and the 'Next steps' section directs users to further Windows VM resources. There is no parity for Linux VM scenarios, nor any guidance for Linux-specific backup considerations.

Recommendations

Add parallel examples and instructions for backing up Linux virtual machines in Azure using Terraform.
Update the checklist and verification steps to include Linux VM resource names and backup commands.
Provide guidance on differences in backup configuration or recovery for Linux VMs, such as OS disk types, authentication, or agent requirements.
Balance 'Next steps' links to include articles about Azure Linux VMs and their backup procedures.
Consider renaming the article or clearly indicating its Windows-specific scope if Linux parity is not intended.
