Summary
The documentation exclusively demonstrates the creation of a Windows-based virtual machine ("Data Science Virtual Machine - Windows 2016 CSP") and only describes connecting to the VM via RDP, with no mention of Linux VM options or SSH access. All examples and screenshots are centered around Windows workflows, and there are no Linux or cross-platform alternatives provided.
Recommendations
  • Include parallel instructions for creating a Linux-based virtual machine (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS) alongside the Windows example.
  • Demonstrate how to connect to a Linux VM using SSH, and provide example commands for different platforms (Windows, macOS, Linux).
  • Mention and show how to select Linux images from the Azure Government marketplace.
  • Ensure screenshots and step-by-step instructions are not Windows-centric and reflect cross-platform usage.
  • Add a section or note about differences in provisioning and connecting to Windows vs. Linux VMs in Azure Government.
