Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias: all examples and instructions focus exclusively on deploying VM extensions to Windows VMs using PowerShell scripts and Windows-specific tools (e.g., Install-WindowsFeature, powershell.exe). The template and script examples are for Windows VMs only, with no mention or examples for Linux VMs, Bash scripts, or Linux extensions. Windows terminology and tools are presented first and exclusively throughout the tutorial.
Recommendations
  • Add parallel examples for deploying extensions to Linux VMs, including ARM template snippets for Linux Custom Script Extension.
  • Provide Bash script examples and show how to execute them via the Linux extension.
  • Reference and link to Linux VM extension documentation (e.g., /azure/virtual-machines/extensions/features-linux).
  • Include instructions for opening relevant ports and retrieving IP addresses using Linux tools and Azure CLI.
  • Clarify in the introduction that the tutorial is Windows-specific, or broaden the scope to cover both platforms.
  • Ensure that both Windows and Linux scenarios are covered equally in future tutorials.
