Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively providing instructions for connecting to the VM via Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), which is a Windows-centric tool. There are no examples or guidance for connecting from Linux or macOS systems (e.g., using SSH). The web server installed is IIS, which is also Windows-specific, and there is no mention of Linux alternatives. The deployment and resource management examples do use both Azure CLI and PowerShell, but the VM access and validation steps are focused solely on Windows workflows.
Recommendations
  • Include instructions for connecting to the VM from Linux and macOS, such as using SSH if the VM is running Linux, or using RDP clients available on those platforms.
  • Provide examples of deploying a Linux VM and installing a web server such as Apache or Nginx, alongside the IIS example.
  • When describing how to access the service privately, include browser access instructions from Linux/macOS as well as Windows.
  • Clarify whether the Bicep template supports both Windows and Linux VMs, and if so, provide parallel steps for both OS types.
  • Add notes or tabs for platform-specific steps, ensuring parity between Windows and Linux/macOS users.
