Summary
The documentation consistently uses Windows Server as the default and only example for virtual machine creation, both in the Azure Portal and CLI/PowerShell instructions. There are no examples or instructions for creating a Linux VM, nor any mention of Linux-specific considerations, images, or administrator account setup. This presents a Windows-first bias and omits Linux parity in practical usage scenarios.
Recommendations
- Add parallel instructions and examples for creating a Linux virtual machine (e.g., using Ubuntu or CentOS images) in all sections where VM creation is demonstrated.
- In the Portal instructions, include a step for selecting a Linux image and configuring SSH authentication, alongside the Windows example.
- For PowerShell and Azure CLI, provide sample commands for creating a Linux VM, including appropriate image references and authentication methods (e.g., SSH keys).
- Explicitly mention that the NSG diagnostics process applies equally to Linux VMs, and highlight any differences in network access or security group configuration relevant to Linux.
- Ensure that administrator account setup instructions cover both Windows (username/password) and Linux (username/SSH key) scenarios.
