Summary
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias in several areas: Windows-specific features and tools (such as PowerShell and VSS) are mentioned first or exclusively, with Linux equivalents either omitted or referenced only briefly. Many automation and scripting examples rely on PowerShell, and Windows-centric terminology and extension references (e.g., ADE for Windows, SQL Server extensions) are prevalent. Linux support is mentioned but lacks detailed guidance or parity in examples and tooling.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-specific examples and guidance alongside Windows instructions, especially for scripting and automation tasks.
  • Include CLI (az) and Bash examples wherever PowerShell is referenced, ensuring both platforms are covered equally.
  • Explicitly mention Linux-compatible tools and patterns (e.g., cloud-init, Linux disk encryption methods) where Windows tools like VSS or ADE are discussed.
  • Clarify limitations and supported features for Linux VMs in all relevant sections, not just as exclusions.
  • Add links to Linux documentation and troubleshooting guides, matching the depth provided for Windows topics.
  • Ensure that references to extensions (e.g., SQL IaaS Extension) include Linux alternatives or state their applicability.
