Summary
The documentation demonstrates mild Windows bias by listing Windows-specific tools and examples before their Linux equivalents, such as referencing Azure PowerShell and SQL Server on Azure VMs (Windows) before Linux alternatives. Some links and guidance are Windows-centric, and Windows terminology (PowerShell, SQL Server) is more prominent than Linux equivalents. Linux examples and tools are present but often appear after Windows ones or are less detailed.
Recommendations
- Ensure Linux and Windows examples are presented with equal prominence and in parallel, rather than listing Windows first.
- Include explicit Linux-focused examples and references (e.g., Bash, Linux SQL Server, Linux VM management) wherever Windows tools or patterns are mentioned.
- Where PowerShell is referenced, also provide equivalent Azure CLI or Bash examples for Linux users.
- Highlight cross-platform tools and approaches, and clarify when guidance applies to both Windows and Linux VMs.
- Add references to Linux-specific documentation (e.g., managing Linux VMs, Linux backup/restore, Linux application failover) alongside Windows resources.
