Summary:
The documentation page provides general guidance for backing up and restoring encrypted Azure VMs, mentioning both Windows and Linux support. However, when it comes to practical examples and command-line instructions, only PowerShell commands are provided (e.g., for identifying a VM's associated key vault), with no equivalent Linux (Bash/CLI) examples. Additionally, Windows tools and terminology (BitLocker, PowerShell) are mentioned before their Linux equivalents (dm-crypt), and there is a lack of parity in step-by-step instructions for Linux users.
Recommendations:
- Add Bash/Azure CLI examples alongside PowerShell commands for all VM and Key Vault operations.
- When describing encryption technologies, mention Linux (dm-crypt) first or equally with Windows (BitLocker), and provide links to relevant Linux documentation.
- Ensure all procedural steps (such as identifying a VM's key vault, setting access policies) include both Windows and Linux command-line instructions.
- Review screenshots and UI instructions to ensure they are OS-neutral or provide notes for Linux-specific considerations.
- Explicitly state that both Windows and Linux VMs are supported in all relevant sections, and avoid implying Windows is the default or primary platform.
