Summary
The documentation demonstrates Windows bias by consistently using Windows as the example OS type in REST and CLI commands, providing detailed PowerShell examples and notes, and omitting explicit Linux-specific command examples or usage patterns. The CLI and REST sections use generic shell syntax, but all sample commands and parameters (e.g., --os-type Windows) default to Windows, with no parity for Linux VM creation or disk management. PowerShell, a Windows-centric tool, is given equal or greater prominence than CLI, and special notes are included for PowerShell multiline syntax, further emphasizing Windows workflows.
Recommendations
  • Include explicit Linux examples in REST, CLI, and PowerShell sections, such as using --os-type Linux and Linux-specific VM disk scenarios.
  • Provide sample commands for common Linux shells (bash/zsh) and clarify any differences in parameter usage or returned values for Linux VMs.
  • Add notes or sections describing Linux-specific considerations for confidential VM disks, such as supported OS types, file formats, and security profiles.
  • Balance PowerShell and CLI coverage by offering more detailed CLI examples and troubleshooting tips for Linux users.
  • Where PowerShell syntax is explained, offer equivalent guidance for bash/zsh multiline commands and scripting best practices.
