Summary
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias in several ways. Most queries and examples are generic, but the only OS-specific example provided is for Windows ('WindowsPendingReboot'), with no equivalent Linux example (e.g., 'LinuxPendingReboot'). Additionally, the use of Azure PowerShell is highlighted alongside Azure CLI, but there is no mention of Linux-native scripting or shell environments (such as Bash), nor are Linux-specific tools or patterns referenced. The ordering of examples and the focus on Windows-specific guest configuration assignments further reinforce the bias.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent Linux examples for OS-specific queries, such as pending reboot status for Linux machines (e.g., 'LinuxPendingReboot').
- Include Linux-native command-line usage patterns (e.g., Bash scripts, shell pipelines) where appropriate, alongside Azure CLI and PowerShell.
- Explicitly mention Linux guest configuration assignments and provide example queries for common Linux scenarios.
- Ensure parity in documentation by listing both Windows and Linux examples when discussing OS-specific features.
- Consider adding notes or sections about cross-platform compatibility and limitations for each query or tool.
