Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways. The section on reinstalling the VMSnapshot backup extension provides extensive, step-by-step instructions for Windows VMs, including PowerShell commands, registry edits, and use of Windows-specific tools (services.msc, regedit, command prompt). In contrast, the Linux instructions are minimal, only mentioning directory navigation and deletion, with no detailed guidance or troubleshooting. Throughout the page, examples and screenshots are Windows-centric, and Windows procedures are presented first and in greater detail, while Linux coverage is brief and lacks parity.
Recommendations
  • Provide equally detailed, step-by-step instructions for Linux VM extension management, including troubleshooting tips, relevant commands, and screenshots.
  • Include Linux-specific examples and commands (e.g., using Azure CLI, shell scripts) alongside or before Windows/PowerShell examples.
  • Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows procedures are given equal prominence, or alternate which is presented first.
  • Mention Linux tools and patterns (such as systemctl, journalctl, or relevant log locations) where appropriate.
  • Add troubleshooting sections for Linux VMs similar to those provided for Windows, covering common issues and solutions.
  • Ensure screenshots and UI references include Linux VM scenarios where applicable.
