Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively using Windows Server images for all virtual machine creation examples in the Portal, PowerShell, and Azure CLI sections. There are no Linux VM examples or instructions, and the VM creation steps (including image selection and CLI parameters) are tailored to Windows. This could mislead users into thinking NSG diagnostics or Bastion scenarios are only relevant for Windows VMs, or that Linux is unsupported.
Recommendations
- Add parallel examples for creating and diagnosing Linux virtual machines (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS) in all sections (Portal, PowerShell, Azure CLI).
- In the Portal instructions, show how to select a Linux image and set SSH authentication, not just Windows credentials.
- In CLI and PowerShell, provide commands for Linux VM creation (e.g., --image 'UbuntuLTS', --admin-username, --authentication-type ssh).
- Clarify in the introduction and throughout that NSG diagnostics and Bastion work for both Windows and Linux VMs.
- Where screenshots are shown, include Linux VM configuration screens as well as Windows.
