Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a subtle Windows bias. While it is largely platform-agnostic in its main instructions (focused on the Azure portal UI), it references Windows tools and patterns first or exclusively in key areas. For example, the prerequisite section links to instructions for uploading a VHD to Azure Storage with a URL ending in '?tabs=windows#copy-vhd-to-storage-account-using-azcopy', suggesting a Windows-centric approach. There is no explicit mention or example of Linux-based workflows or tools (such as Linux shell commands for azcopy or uploading VHDs), nor are there screenshots or instructions tailored for Linux users. The documentation also references Windows and Linux as OS types for images, but does not provide parity in examples or guidance for Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Include explicit Linux examples and instructions wherever Windows tools or workflows are referenced (e.g., provide azcopy commands for Linux/macOS, and clarify any differences in workflow).
  • Ensure that links to prerequisite steps (such as uploading a VHD) include or default to Linux instructions, or clearly indicate how to switch between Windows and Linux tabs.
  • Add screenshots or command-line examples that show Linux environments where appropriate, not just Windows.
  • Review all tool references (such as azcopy) to ensure cross-platform guidance is provided, including installation and usage on Linux.
  • Where administrator account setup is discussed, provide both Windows (password) and Linux (SSH key) examples, and clarify any OS-specific requirements.
