Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows and PowerShell examples are presented first and in greater detail, especially in Bicep and ARM template sections, which only show Windows VM creation and extension installation. PowerShell is emphasized as the primary automation tool, with Linux alternatives (such as Bash or cloud-init) missing. The extension installation examples and resource definitions are Windows-centric, and Linux-specific instructions or examples for extension deployment are absent or minimal. Additionally, folder permissions and requirements are described in Windows terms, with Linux equivalents omitted.
Recommendations
- Provide parallel Linux examples for Bicep and ARM templates, including VM creation and extension installation using 'HybridWorkerForLinux'.
- Add Linux-specific PowerShell or Bash scripts for extension installation and management.
- Include Linux folder permission requirements and management steps, similar to the Windows section.
- Ensure that CLI, REST API, and automation examples explicitly show both Windows and Linux extension types and settings.
- Present Windows and Linux instructions/examples in parallel, rather than listing Windows first or exclusively.
- Reference Linux-specific documentation and troubleshooting steps where appropriate.
