Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by focusing almost exclusively on Windows-based tooling and workflows (Hyper-V Manager, PowerShell) for preparing and converting Linux images. Linux-native tools and workflows (e.g., KVM, qemu-img, Linux shell commands) are mentioned only briefly or as secondary alternatives, and no step-by-step Linux-based example is provided. The guidance assumes the user is operating from a Windows environment, with Linux host options relegated to a note rather than a full workflow.
Recommendations
- Add a parallel, step-by-step workflow for preparing and converting a Linux image using Linux-native tools (e.g., KVM, qemu-img, shell commands) for users working from a Linux host.
- Provide explicit Linux command-line examples for creating, converting, and uploading VHDs (e.g., using qemu-img, Azure CLI, or AzCopy on Linux).
- Ensure that references to Windows tools (Hyper-V, PowerShell) are balanced by equivalent Linux tooling and that both workflows are presented with equal prominence.
- Where possible, avoid assuming the user is working from a Windows environment; clarify when steps are Windows-specific and offer Linux alternatives.
- Include troubleshooting tips and caveats relevant to Linux environments, not just Windows.
