Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. The Bicep template exclusively provisions a Windows VM, with no mention or example for Linux VMs. All deployment and management instructions use Azure PowerShell, with no Azure CLI or Bash alternatives provided. References to VM backup and monitoring link to PowerShell-centric articles, and resource cleanup is described only with PowerShell cmdlets. There is no guidance for Linux VM backup scenarios, nor parity in tooling or example OS images.
Recommendations
  • Add a Linux VM example to the Bicep template, including parameters for Linux images and authentication (e.g., SSH keys).
  • Provide Azure CLI and Bash script equivalents for deployment, backup initiation, monitoring, and cleanup steps.
  • Update references and links to include Linux VM backup documentation and CLI-based workflows.
  • Clearly indicate in the template and instructions how to modify for Linux VMs, including supported images and required parameters.
  • Present Windows and Linux options side-by-side, or alternate which is shown first, to avoid 'windows_first' ordering.
