Summary
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias by exclusively using PowerShell commands for both Windows and Linux VM operations, referencing Windows file paths and environments (e.g., PS C:\WINDOWS\system32>), and omitting native Linux CLI examples (such as Bash or Azure CLI). Windows terminology and screenshots are prevalent, and Windows tools/patterns are used for Linux scenarios as well. The structure and examples consistently prioritize Windows approaches, even when describing Linux VM management.
Recommendations
  • Provide native Linux command-line examples (e.g., Bash, Azure CLI) for Linux VM scenarios alongside PowerShell.
  • Use Linux file paths and environments in Linux examples (e.g., /home/user/...), not Windows paths.
  • Include screenshots from Linux environments (e.g., terminal, SSH clients) for Linux VM operations.
  • Clarify that PowerShell is cross-platform, but also offer instructions for users who prefer native Linux tools.
  • Balance the order of presentation so Linux and Windows instructions are given equal prominence.
