Summary
The documentation page demonstrates bias towards Windows by exclusively using admin user names ('adminUsername', 'administrator') that are typical for Windows systems, and by referencing the 'Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines' resource without clarifying Linux-specific admin user name conventions. There are no examples or notes for Linux VM scenarios, such as using 'azureuser' or other common Linux admin names. The documentation implicitly assumes Windows patterns and does not provide parity for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Include Linux-specific examples, such as using 'azureuser' or other typical Linux admin user names in the Bicep resource definitions.
- Add a note or section clarifying differences between Windows and Linux VM admin user name conventions.
- Ensure examples and explanations cover both Windows and Linux VM scenarios, or explicitly state when an example is Windows-specific.
- Reference Linux VM documentation or provide links for further reading on Linux admin user name best practices.
