Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows Server VM deployment examples, referencing PowerShell extensively for automation and common tasks, and omitting explicit Linux VM or Bash/Unix shell examples. Windows-specific tools and workflows (PowerShell, Windows Server) are mentioned before or instead of Linux equivalents, and there is a lack of guidance for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Add explicit examples for deploying Linux VMs using ARM templates, both in quickstart and automation sections.
- Include Bash/Azure CLI scripts for common automation tasks currently only demonstrated with PowerShell (e.g., creating custom images, uploading VHDs, adding users).
- Reference Linux base images and workflows alongside Windows Server in quickstart and template selection instructions.
- Balance mentions of PowerShell with equivalent Bash/CLI instructions throughout the documentation.
- Provide links to Linux-focused resources and scripts in the GitHub repository and Azure documentation.
