Summary
The documentation page exhibits Windows bias by exclusively deploying Windows Server virtual machines in its example environment, omitting any mention of Linux VM options. Additionally, cleanup instructions only provide a PowerShell command, with no equivalent Bash or Azure CLI example for Linux users. The documentation does not reference Linux tools or patterns, nor does it offer parity in examples or instructions for non-Windows platforms.
Recommendations
- Include options in the ARM template and documentation to deploy Linux-based virtual machines alongside or instead of Windows Server VMs.
- Provide cleanup instructions using Azure CLI (az group delete) and Bash, in addition to PowerShell, to support Linux and cross-platform users.
- Explicitly mention that both Windows and Linux VMs can be used in the test environment, and link to relevant guidance for deploying each.
- Ensure that examples and tooling references are balanced between Windows and Linux, or presented in a platform-neutral way.
