Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways. Most queries and examples focus on Windows-specific guest configuration assignments (e.g., 'WindowsPendingReboot') and do not provide equivalent Linux examples (such as 'LinuxPendingReboot'). Windows terminology and resource names are used exclusively or before Linux equivalents. There is a lack of parity in examples for Linux guest configuration scenarios, except for a single section ('installed_application_linux'). PowerShell is featured as a primary automation tool, which is traditionally associated with Windows environments.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent Linux guest configuration assignment examples (e.g., 'LinuxPendingReboot') wherever Windows-specific queries are shown.
- Ensure that both Windows and Linux resource names and scenarios are covered in all query examples, not just in one section.
- When listing tools or automation options, clarify cross-platform support (e.g., Azure CLI and PowerShell are available on Linux, macOS, and Windows).
- Consider providing Bash or shell script examples for Linux users alongside PowerShell.
- Review terminology and ordering to avoid presenting Windows scenarios first or exclusively, and strive for equal representation of Linux and Windows use cases.
