Summary
The documentation consistently references Windows-based virtual machines in all example links and prerequisites, with no mention of Linux VM equivalents. All resource creation links point to Windows-specific guides (e.g., '/azure/virtual-machines/windows/quick-create-portal', '/azure/virtual-machines/windows/quick-create-powershell', '/azure/virtual-machines/windows/quick-create-cli'). There are no Linux VM creation links or examples, which may lead Linux users to feel excluded or uncertain about parity. While Azure CLI and PowerShell examples are provided (which are cross-platform), the supporting documentation and context are Windows-centric.
Recommendations
- Add links to Linux VM creation guides alongside Windows VM links in prerequisites for portal, PowerShell, and CLI sections.
- Explicitly state that the admin state feature and commands work with both Windows and Linux backend pool instances.
- Include example resource names and scenarios that reference Linux VMs (e.g., 'myLinuxVM') in addition to Windows VMs.
- Where possible, provide a short note or example showing how to create or manage backend pool instances with Linux VMs.
- Ensure parity in documentation references, so that Linux users can follow along without ambiguity or extra research.
