Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by providing troubleshooting steps and examples that rely exclusively on Windows tools and PowerShell cmdlets (e.g., Convert-VHD, Get-VHD), without mentioning or providing equivalent Linux commands or workflows. The guidance for preparing VHDs and managing VM images is focused on Windows environments, and there are no Linux-specific instructions or references to Linux-compatible tools for these tasks. Additionally, the 'Next steps' section lists Azure PowerShell before any mention of Linux CLI or cross-platform tools.
Recommendations
  • Include Linux-based instructions for preparing and converting VHDs, such as using qemu-img or other Linux-compatible tools.
  • Provide examples of how to check VHD type and convert disk formats on Linux.
  • Reference cross-platform or Linux-native tools (e.g., Azure CLI, qemu-img) alongside or before Windows/PowerShell tools.
  • Add troubleshooting steps and examples for common Linux environments.
  • Ensure parity in 'Next steps' by listing Azure CLI or Linux workflows equally or before Windows-specific options.
