Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows-centric queries and terminology (e.g., 'Windows Server', 'kbId', 'updateRollup', 'featurePack', 'servicePack') are used more frequently and are presented before or in greater detail than Linux equivalents. The structure often lists Windows queries before Linux ones, and some queries (such as OS update installation) are split into separate Windows and Linux sections, with Windows appearing first. There is a lack of Linux-specific examples or explanations for several queries, and PowerShell (a Windows-native tool) is given equal prominence to Azure CLI, which is more cross-platform. Windows update classifications are referenced without Linux equivalents or mapping.
Recommendations
- Ensure Linux and Windows queries/examples are presented with equal prominence and detail, alternating order or grouping them together where appropriate.
- Provide Linux-specific terminology and explanations for update classifications, mapping Windows concepts to their Linux equivalents (e.g., security updates, kernel updates, package updates).
- Add more Linux-focused examples, especially for queries that only mention Windows-specific properties or concepts.
- Clarify when queries or properties are OS-agnostic versus OS-specific, and explicitly note differences in resource properties between Windows and Linux VMs.
- Consider including Bash or shell scripting examples alongside PowerShell, or referencing cross-platform scripting approaches.
- Review and balance the use of Windows-centric terms (e.g., 'kbId', 'servicePack') with Linux equivalents (e.g., package version, distribution-specific update types).
