Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a mild Windows bias. Windows-specific parameters (such as users included/excluded from Windows VM Administrators group and deployment of Microsoft IaaSAntimalware extension on Windows servers) are listed before or more prominently than Linux equivalents. There are several Windows-specific artifact parameters, but Linux equivalents are present for some (e.g., Log Analytics Agent deployment for both Windows and Linux VMs/VMSS). However, examples and explanations for Linux-specific settings are less detailed, and there are no explicit Linux command-line or configuration examples. The documentation does not provide parity in examples or explanations for Linux systems, and Windows terminology appears more frequently and with more detail.
Recommendations
  • Ensure Linux-specific artifact parameters are described with equal detail and clarity as Windows ones.
  • Provide explicit examples or guidance for Linux VM configuration, such as user/group management or security settings, similar to the Windows Administrators group examples.
  • Include references to Linux tools or patterns (e.g., SSH, sudoers, Linux security extensions) where relevant.
  • Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows artifacts are listed together or alternately, rather than Windows first.
  • Add sample commands or configuration snippets for Linux environments, not just Windows-centric settings.
