Summary
The documentation generally maintains parity between Linux and Windows, but there is subtle Windows bias. The extension publisher is named 'Chef.Bootstrap.WindowsAzure', which is Windows-centric. In the extension schema, the Windows type ('ChefClient') is listed before the Linux type ('LinuxChefClient'). The logging paths and troubleshooting sections mention both platforms, but the Windows path is given in Powershell syntax and the Linux path in bash, with no further Linux troubleshooting commands or examples. The Azure CLI deployment example only shows Linux ('LinuxChefClient') and omits a Windows example. The documentation references Windows tools and patterns (e.g., publisher naming, resource types) before Linux equivalents.
Recommendations
- Provide explicit Windows deployment examples alongside Linux examples in CLI sections.
- Clarify that the publisher name is historical and applies to both platforms.
- List Linux and Windows extension types in parallel, or alternate the order to avoid Windows-first bias.
- Include Linux-specific troubleshooting commands (e.g., 'cat' or 'tail' for log files) as well as Windows equivalents (e.g., 'Get-Content').
- Ensure that documentation sections do not default to Windows terminology or patterns unless necessary.
