Summary
The documentation exhibits a moderate Windows bias. Windows technologies (e.g., Hyper-V, BitLocker, Windows Firewall) are consistently mentioned first and in greater detail than their Linux equivalents. Windows-specific tools and patterns (such as PowerShell, RDP, Windows Server) are referenced more frequently, and example workflows often default to Windows before Linux. In several places, Linux alternatives are mentioned only as secondary options or lack detailed examples, especially in sections on compute isolation, disk encryption, and management tooling.
Recommendations
  • Ensure Linux examples are provided alongside Windows examples for all major scenarios, especially for VM provisioning, disk encryption, and remote management.
  • Present Linux and Windows options with equal prominence, alternating which is mentioned first in lists and tables.
  • Expand discussion of Linux technologies (e.g., KVM, DM-Crypt, iptables) where relevant, not just referencing them as alternatives.
  • Include explicit Linux CLI and scripting examples (e.g., Bash, Azure CLI on Linux) wherever PowerShell is referenced.
  • Clarify when features or guidance are platform-agnostic and avoid implying Windows is the default or preferred platform.
  • Add links to Linux-specific documentation and best practices in 'Extra resources' and 'Next steps' sections.
