Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: PowerShell is the only command-line example shown for interacting with Azure resources, and references to remote desktop and remote PowerShell traffic for Windows VMs are given before mentioning SSH for Linux VMs. The migration guidance and next steps link to PowerShell-based deployment instructions, with Azure CLI only mentioned as an alternative in a list, not in examples. There are no explicit Linux or cross-platform command-line examples, and Windows terminology/tools are prioritized throughout.
Recommendations
  • Provide Azure CLI examples alongside PowerShell for all command-line instructions, especially in code blocks.
  • Explicitly mention Linux and macOS compatibility in relevant sections, including remote management and deployment.
  • Ensure references to SSH and Linux VM management are given equal prominence to Windows/PowerShell examples.
  • Link to both PowerShell and Azure CLI deployment guides in 'Next steps', and clarify platform support.
  • Include screenshots or diagrams that are platform-neutral or show both Windows and Linux scenarios.
  • Review terminology to avoid Windows-centric phrasing (e.g., 'remote desktop and remote PowerShell traffic for Windows-based virtual machines and Secure Shell (SSH) traffic for Linux-based virtual machines' could be reworded to present both options equally).
