Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows Server is mentioned before Linux (Ubuntu) in lists of supported images, and the ARM template example lists the Windows image first. The only example command provided uses the Azure CLI, which is cross-platform, but the syntax shown uses backticks (`) for line continuation, which is a Windows PowerShell convention and not valid in Bash. There are no explicit Linux shell (Bash) examples, nor are Linux-specific tools or patterns discussed. References to further documentation use Windows-centric links (e.g., 'Virtual machines in an Azure Resource Manager template' points to a Windows VM template page).
Recommendations
  • Provide both Windows and Linux shell examples for Azure CLI commands, using appropriate line continuation for Bash (\) and PowerShell (`).
  • Alternate the order of Windows and Linux images in lists and examples, or present them alphabetically to avoid implicit prioritization.
  • Include links to both Windows and Linux ARM template documentation, or use a neutral landing page.
  • Explicitly mention that the Azure CLI is cross-platform and provide guidance for both Windows and Linux users.
  • Where possible, add Linux-specific considerations or troubleshooting steps alongside Windows ones.
