Summary
The documentation page generally aims for OS neutrality, but there are subtle signs of Windows bias. Windows-specific tools (e.g., PowerShell) are mentioned before or instead of Linux equivalents for certain operations, such as discovering supported images. The section on TLS configuration provides detailed guidance and links for Windows but omits equivalent Linux guidance. There are no Linux-specific examples or references to Linux-native tools (e.g., Bash, Linux configuration files), and where remote access is discussed, RDP (Windows) is mentioned before SSH (Linux).
Recommendations
- When referencing tools for discovering supported images, include Linux-native options (e.g., Azure CLI with Bash) alongside or before PowerShell.
- Provide equivalent guidance and links for configuring SSL/TLS on Linux, not just Windows.
- Where remote access is discussed, mention SSH (for Linux) before or alongside RDP (for Windows), and provide links to relevant Linux documentation.
- Add Linux-specific examples or callouts where OS-level configuration is required, such as patching, security hardening, or disk encryption.
- Review the order of OS mentions to ensure Linux is not consistently secondary to Windows.
