Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a bias toward Windows environments. All virtual machine deployment examples use Windows Server images, and remote access instructions focus exclusively on RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol), which is a Windows-centric tool. There are no examples or instructions for deploying Linux VMs, nor are there any references to SSH, which is the standard remote access method for Linux. The PowerShell and Azure CLI examples only show Windows VM creation, and the ARM template snippets do not specify Linux images or configurations. This results in missing Linux parity and a perception that the solution is intended primarily for Windows workloads.
Recommendations
  • Add parallel examples for deploying Linux VMs (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS) in both Azure CLI and PowerShell sections.
  • Include instructions and examples for configuring SSH access to Linux VMs, alongside RDP for Windows.
  • Mention Linux-friendly tools and patterns (such as using SSH keys, cloud-init, etc.) in the prerequisites and deployment steps.
  • Update ARM template sample snippets to show both Windows and Linux VM configurations.
  • Where remote access is discussed, clarify the difference between RDP (Windows) and SSH (Linux), and provide both sets of instructions.
  • Ensure screenshots and output samples include Linux VM scenarios as well as Windows.
