Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: PowerShell is frequently used for verification and management examples, often appearing before or instead of Linux/Unix alternatives. Many code samples and artifact references use Windows-centric paths, filenames, and tools (e.g., .ps1 scripts, Windows VM images). There is a lack of explicit Linux-focused examples, such as Bash scripts, Linux VM images, or references to Linux-specific tooling, and Windows terminology (e.g., 'PowerShell DSC', 'WindowsServer') is prevalent throughout.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux/Bash equivalents for all PowerShell commands and scripts, ensuring parity in example coverage.
  • Include examples of deploying Linux VM images (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS) alongside WindowsServer examples.
  • Reference and demonstrate Linux VM extensions and configuration scripts (e.g., using shell scripts, cloud-init) in addition to PowerShell DSC.
  • Use neutral or dual-platform artifact paths and filenames (e.g., .sh and .ps1 scripts) in template examples.
  • Mention cross-platform tools (e.g., Azure CLI, Terraform) before or alongside Windows-specific tools.
  • Ensure documentation sections do not default to Windows terminology or examples; present Linux options equally or first where appropriate.
