Summary
This documentation page exhibits Windows bias in several ways: the example VM deployed is hard-coded as 'SimpleWinVM', with references to Windows-specific username and password requirements. The prerequisites and deployment instructions mention Azure PowerShell and Azure CLI, but the VM template and guidance are tailored for a Windows VM only, with no mention of Linux VM options or Linux-specific requirements. There are no examples or instructions for deploying a Linux VM or managing Linux credentials, and the documentation links for username/password requirements point to Windows VM documentation.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel examples for deploying a Linux VM (e.g., 'SimpleLinuxVM'), including Linux-specific username and password requirements.
  • Include links to Linux VM documentation for credential requirements.
  • Make it clear that the dashboard can visualize both Windows and Linux VMs, and provide sample Bicep/ARM templates for each.
  • Ensure that CLI and PowerShell examples use variables and resource names that are not Windows-specific.
  • Add a note or section explaining how to adapt the process for Linux VMs, including any differences in deployment parameters or dashboard configuration.
