Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All examples and instructions focus exclusively on deploying VM extensions to Windows VMs, using PowerShell scripts and Windows-specific tools (e.g., Install-WindowsFeature, powershell.exe). The template referenced is for a Windows VM, and there are no equivalent examples or guidance for Linux VMs, such as using Bash scripts, Linux extensions, or Linux-specific configuration steps. Windows tools and patterns are mentioned first and exclusively throughout the tutorial.
Recommendations
- Add parallel examples for deploying VM extensions to Linux VMs, including using Bash scripts and Linux-specific extensions (e.g., CustomScript for Linux).
- Reference and link to Azure Quickstart Templates for Linux VMs alongside Windows examples.
- Provide sample ARM template snippets for Linux VM extensions, showing how to execute Bash scripts.
- Include instructions for retrieving the public IP address and accessing the web server on Linux VMs using Azure CLI or Bash.
- Mention Linux tools (e.g., apt, yum, systemctl) where appropriate, and provide parity in the explanation of extension usage.
- Ensure that both Windows and Linux scenarios are covered in prerequisites, deployment, and clean-up steps.
