Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All code examples use Azure PowerShell, with explicit instructions for installing Azure PowerShell on Windows and no mention of Linux or macOS installation. The image customization steps use Windows-specific tools (Chocolatey, PowerShell scripts), and the VM Image Builder template is tailored for Windows images (Windows-11 SKU, OS type set to Windows). There are no examples or guidance for using Azure CLI, Bash, or Linux-based images, despite a brief mention that Azure CLI can be used. The documentation assumes a Windows-centric workflow throughout.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel examples using Azure CLI and Bash scripts for all steps, including resource creation, template deployment, and image building.
  • Include instructions for installing Azure PowerShell on Linux and macOS, or link to cross-platform installation guides.
  • Add a section or examples for building Linux-based images (e.g., Ubuntu), including customization steps using Linux-native tools (such as apt, shell scripts).
  • Mention and demonstrate how to use Linux equivalents of Chocolatey (such as apt, yum, or snap) for software installation in image customization.
  • Ensure that references to tools and workflows do not assume a Windows environment (e.g., avoid hardcoded Windows file paths like c:\temp\).
  • Reorder prerequisites and instructions to present cross-platform options equally, rather than Windows-first.
