Summary
The documentation page lists Azure built-in roles for Compute and is generally platform-neutral in its role definitions and permissions. However, there is evidence of Windows bias in the naming and focus of certain roles (e.g., 'Windows Admin Center Administrator Login', 'Windows 365 Network Interface Contributor', 'Windows 365 Network User'), and in the linked 'Learn more' articles, which often reference Windows-specific tools or scenarios before Linux equivalents. Some roles and descriptions explicitly mention Windows tools (Windows Admin Center, Windows 365) and provide links to Windows-focused documentation, while Linux scenarios are less emphasized or referenced later (or not at all).
Recommendations
  • For each role that references Windows-specific tools (e.g., Windows Admin Center, Windows 365), add equivalent Linux scenarios and documentation links (e.g., SSH, Linux VM management).
  • Ensure 'Learn more' links and examples cover both Windows and Linux workflows, ideally with parity in depth and clarity.
  • Where roles mention login as administrator, clarify Linux root user scenarios and provide links to Linux authentication documentation.
  • Review role descriptions and permission tables for implicit Windows-first language and update to explicitly mention Linux support where applicable.
  • Add cross-platform examples and guidance for common tasks (e.g., VM login, patching, extension management) for both Windows and Linux.
