Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by focusing exclusively on Windows-based tooling (Hyper-V Manager, PowerShell) for preparing and converting Linux images, with no step-by-step guidance for equivalent Linux workflows (e.g., using KVM, qemu-img, or Linux-native VHD creation). The only detailed example is for Windows Hyper-V, and Linux host methods are only briefly mentioned without actionable instructions. Upload instructions reference Windows-centric tools and documentation, and PowerShell is suggested for disk operations.
Recommendations
- Provide parallel, step-by-step instructions for preparing and converting a Linux image using Linux-native tools (e.g., KVM, qemu-img, libvirt).
- Include Linux command-line examples for resizing/converting disks (e.g., using qemu-img) alongside PowerShell/Hyper-V examples.
- Reference and link to Linux-specific documentation for uploading VHDs (e.g., using Azure CLI or AzCopy from Linux).
- Present both Windows and Linux workflows with equal prominence, or clearly indicate when a step is Windows-specific and offer Linux alternatives.
- Avoid referencing only Windows documentation (such as PowerShell modules) when cross-platform alternatives exist.
