Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: VM creation examples exclusively use Windows Server images, PowerShell is the only shell shown for connection verification, and there are no Linux VM or shell examples. The portal instructions and CLI commands default to Windows-centric patterns, and Windows tools (PowerShell, Windows Server) are mentioned without Linux equivalents.
Recommendations
  • Add parallel examples for creating and connecting to a Linux VM (e.g., Ubuntu) in both portal and CLI sections.
  • Provide shell commands for connection verification using Bash (e.g., nslookup, dig, curl) on Linux VMs.
  • Mention Linux images as options when creating VMs, and show how to select them in both portal and CLI instructions.
  • Balance PowerShell usage with Bash or other Linux shell examples throughout the documentation.
  • Explicitly state that both Windows and Linux VMs are supported and provide guidance for each.
