Summary

The documentation page exhibits mild Windows bias by referencing PowerShell as a method for creating custom images and uploading VHD files, and by listing Windows-specific tools (sysprep) before Linux equivalents (deprovision). PowerShell is mentioned multiple times as a primary automation option, while Linux command-line alternatives (such as Bash scripts or Azure CLI) are not referenced. The upload instructions mention AzCopy and Storage Explorer, which are cross-platform, but PowerShell is highlighted as a distinct method. The OS selection instructions mention Windows and sysprep before Linux and deprovision.

Recommendations

Add explicit examples and links for using Azure CLI and Bash scripts for both uploading VHD files and creating custom images.
Ensure Linux instructions (e.g., deprovision) are given equal prominence and detail as Windows instructions (e.g., sysprep).
When listing upload methods, alternate the order or group Windows and Linux options together to avoid Windows-first ordering.
Provide sample commands for Linux environments (e.g., using Azure CLI on Ubuntu) alongside PowerShell examples.
Clarify which tools are cross-platform and recommend them for both Windows and Linux users.
