Summary
The documentation page, while nominally covering both Windows and Linux, demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows examples, tools, and patterns are consistently presented first; PowerShell is the primary automation language throughout, even for Linux scenarios; Bicep and ARM template examples are exclusively for Windows VMs; permissions and troubleshooting sections focus on Windows-specific paths and registry keys; and there is a lack of parity in Linux-specific automation and deployment examples (e.g., no Linux VM creation or extension install examples via Bicep/ARM).
Recommendations
- Present Windows and Linux instructions/examples in parallel, or alternate which platform is shown first.
- Provide Linux-specific examples for Bicep, ARM templates, and REST API, including creation and extension installation for Linux VMs.
- Include Bash and/or Python automation examples for Linux scenarios, not just PowerShell.
- Expand permissions and troubleshooting sections to cover Linux file paths, permissions, and common issues.
- Reference Linux tools and patterns (e.g., systemd, shell scripts) where appropriate, alongside Windows equivalents.
- Ensure all CLI and API examples explicitly show both Windows and Linux extension types and settings.
- Clarify any platform-specific limitations or differences in all relevant sections.
