Summary
The documentation page, while focused on Linux custom images, presents Windows-centric links and examples first when describing how to create an Azure VM. Specifically, the links for creating a VM via the Azure portal, PowerShell, Azure CLI, and ARM template all point to Windows documentation, with no Linux equivalents provided or referenced. This may confuse users seeking Linux-specific instructions and creates a perception of Windows preference.
Recommendations
  • Update the VM creation step to reference Linux-specific documentation for the Azure portal, PowerShell, Azure CLI, and ARM templates (e.g., /azure/virtual-machines/linux/quick-create-portal).
  • Ensure that examples and links for Linux are presented before or alongside Windows equivalents, especially in Linux-focused documentation.
  • Add explicit Linux command-line examples (e.g., Azure CLI commands for Linux VM creation) to improve clarity and parity.
  • Review all linked resources to confirm they are relevant to Linux workflows, and avoid defaulting to Windows documentation unless the topic is Windows-specific.
