Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively using Windows Server as the example operating system for the virtual machine setup, with no mention of Linux alternatives. All screenshots and instructions for VM creation reference Windows Server, and there are no Linux VM creation steps or examples. The tutorial does not provide parity for Linux users, who may wish to use Ubuntu or other Linux distributions in Azure. Additionally, the quickstart links for function creation prioritize Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code, which are more commonly used on Windows, with Linux-friendly CLI and Maven options listed last.
Recommendations
  • Include instructions and screenshots for creating a Linux-based VM (e.g., Ubuntu) alongside the Windows Server example.
  • Explicitly mention that either Windows or Linux VMs can be used for the scenario, and provide guidance for both.
  • Reorder or balance quickstart links to give equal prominence to Linux-friendly tools (e.g., Azure CLI, Maven) and IDEs.
  • Where VM OS selection is discussed, clarify that the choice depends on user preference and provide pros/cons or considerations for each.
  • Add troubleshooting notes or tips relevant to Linux users (e.g., SSH access, package installation) when accessing the VM via Bastion.
