Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias in several ways: Windows-specific examples and tools (such as PowerShell and password reset extensions) are mentioned before or more prominently than Linux equivalents. The preparation of VM images lists Windows-focused articles first and in greater detail, while Linux-specific guidance is less visible or absent. Management and deployment instructions frequently reference PowerShell and Windows-centric workflows, with limited mention of Linux-native tools or patterns. Some management tasks (e.g., password reset) are described only for Windows/PowerShell, with no Linux alternative provided.
Recommendations
  • Ensure Linux examples and workflows are presented alongside Windows ones, ideally with equal prominence and detail.
  • Add Linux-specific instructions for tasks such as password reset, VM image preparation, and management, using native Linux tools (e.g., SSH, cloud-init).
  • When listing deployment methods, avoid grouping PowerShell and Windows tools ahead of CLI or cross-platform solutions; alternate or parallelize their presentation.
  • Include references to Linux management extensions and scripts where applicable.
  • Review all linked articles to ensure Linux parity in step-by-step guides and troubleshooting sections.
